Felixstowe Ferry

DEBEN PENINSULAR

The Deben Peninsular is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, with winding lanes and rolling meadows that occasionally allow glimpses of the river beyond. At its south-easterly point you can board the ferry to Felixstowe and the villages of Hollesley and Alderton sit a short way inland from the atmospheric expanse of Shingle Street. Ramsholt, once an historic fishing town, is a wonderful place to while away a few hours and Rendlesham Forest is a leafy escape, packed with opportunities for walking, cycling, nature spotting, or even just picnicking.

Don’t miss: The Anglo-Saxon burial mounds at Sutton Hoo. Seal spotting from the shingle shore. Taking a scenic tour around The Suffolk Punch Trust where they are Dedicated to helping protect the critically endangered breed of Suffolk Punch heavy horses. A trip to Bawdsey Radar. Taking the UFO trail and stumbling across a replica of the mysterious craft that was reportedly sighted (IP12 3NF). The Cold War Museum at Bentwaters, where you can see the USAF original war operations room and battle cabin, (open from July, 1st and 3rd Sunday and Bank Holidays.)
