A great base for exploring the Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB, Woodbridge is a historic town on the River Deben. There are plenty of places to eat and drink, as well as several accommodation options.

The town is well known for Sutton Hoo, home to one of Britain's most important archaeological discoveries: the ship burial of an Anglo-Saxon king and his most valuable possessions.

River Deben Estuary

Highlight • Viewpoint

The River Deben flows 34 miles (54 km) through the heart of Suffolk from Bedingfield to the North Sea. The river has played an important role in the region's history, powering mills. Many animal species call the river home thanks to its varied habitats. Keep a lookout for avocets that overwinter in the area.

The Longshed

Highlight • Historical Site

The Ship’s Company was formed in 2016 with the sole purpose of creating a permanent and authentic replica of the Anglo-Saxon ship. The team is made up of professionals, volunteers and enthusiasts who are working together to fully understand the dimensions and construction methods. The ship will be built in the newly opened, Longshed, a purpose-built unit gifted to the town and dedicated to the maritime history and education.
