This picturesque, vibrant market town sits on the banks of the River Deben offering excellent shopping, superb pubs and wonderful restaurants as well as numerous activities indoors and outdoors. On the edge of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Woodbridge is an excellent base to explore the Suffolk countryside and visit the stunning Suffolk Heritage Coast. It is situated roughly 8 miles from the sea and is close to some major archaeological sites of the Anglo-Saxon period, including the Sutton Hoo burial ship. The town’s tide mill is a very successful tourist attraction. It was one of the first tide mills in the country and unquestionably the last working one, operating for well over 800 years. The mill has a fascinating history. The earliest record of a tide mill is in 1170 when it was owned by the Augustinian Priors until Henry VIII confiscated it. In 1793, the present mill was built in the site of the earlier ones. It was opened to the public in 1973 and restoration work has brought it back into use as a fully working tide mill.
Thanks to a huge National Lottery grant and fundraising, Sutton Hoo is transforming the way that we tell the story of one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time. The National Trust manages the hauntingly beautiful 255 acre estate with its far-reaching views over the River Deben. Visitors can walk around the Royal Burial Ground and discover the incredible story of the the ship burial of an Anglo-Saxon King and his treasured possessions.  
The Orford Ness Nature Reserve is wild, remote and exposed. It contains the ruined remnants of a disturbing past where weapons, including atomic bombs, were once tested ad perfected. Rare and fragile wildlife thrives in this lovely spot.
The Greenhouse is within an easy drive of the charming coastal village of Aldeburgh. Aldeburgh offers highly distinctive architecture, much charm, a welcoming ambience and a lovely beach. Famous for its connection with the composer Benjamin Britten, it boasts a stunning ‘Scallop’ sculpture on the beach which is four metres high and is inscribed with the words ‘I hear those voices that will not be drowned’ from Britten’s famous opera Grimes. There is an annual Aldeburgh Festival which takes place in June and was originally founded by Benjamin Brittan. You can visit The Red House where he stayed for a glimpse of his life. Visitors can buy the freshest of catches at the fisherman’s huts on the beach for your alfresco supper or visit the numerous art galleries.
Just along the coast, Thorpeness is a magical, mystical village where you will find The Meare, an artificially created, Peter Pan themed boating lake. The landings and tiny islands have Peter Pan names such as  ‘The Pirate’s Lair’ and ‘Wendy’s Island’. Visitors can hire rowing boats and enjoy family rowing on the water. Thorpeness Golf Club is regarded as one of Suffolk’s finest with 18 holes and par 70, just a stone’s throw from the beach.
