FELIXSTOWE FERRY
A couple of miles up the coast, Felixstowe Ferry is a rural hamlet at the mouth of the beautiful River Deben. It’s a lovely unspoiled area ideal for a spot of lunch and a river or seaside stroll. Don’t miss: A bite to eat in the Ferry Boat Inn overlooking the village green and sailing club. Waving the bat to summon the foot ferry to take you across to Bawdsey. Pottering along the sandy shoreline and then pausing for a brew and fish and chips at Winkles or The Ferry Cafe. Perfect beach for: Crabbing or waiting to buy your fresh fish straight from the boats arriving back with their catch of the day. Did you know: There are two Napoleonic Martello Towers still standing in Felixstowe Ferry. “Tower T” is on Felixstowe Ferry golf course

close to the sea wall. It was briefly used as the clubhouse by the club, which was formed in 1880 and is the fourth oldest in England and only true “links” course in Suffolk.
