This little tower is one of the many Martello towers built in the 19th century for coastal defences. They appear across the former British Empire and there are 45 left standing in the UK. The only defending this tower does now is from golf balls, as the Felixstowe golf course flows around it.

Felixstowe Ferry to Landguard Fort — Suffolk Coast & Heaths

17,0km

04:17

20m

Embark on a moderate hike from Felixstowe Ferry to Landguard Fort, covering 10.6 miles (17.0 km) with a minimal elevation gain of 77 feet (23 metres). This route typically takes about 4 hours and 17 minutes to complete. You will experience varied terrain, including firm tracks, surfaced paths, and concrete walkways, with optional sections across shingle beaches and grassland. Enjoy impressive coastal views, historic Martello Towers, and the dramatic industrial backdrop of the Port of Felixstowe, one of Britain's busiest container ports.

Planning your visit, you will find many sections of the trail are considered easy, suitable for most fitness levels due to low elevation changes. However, the full route is rated moderate, so be prepared for a longer walk. The trail includes public steps near Cobbolds Point and paths along the River Deben, offering diverse walking experiences. Consider starting early to fully appreciate the blend of natural beauty and historical landmarks along the way.

This trail is rich in history and unique features, making it a notable journey along the Suffolk Coast & Heaths. You can explore Landguard Fort, a historic coastal defense that played a crucial role in England's defense for centuries, including seeing off the last opposed seaborne invasion in 1667. The route also passes through the Landguard Nature Reserve, a unique habitat for wildlife with its vegetated shingle, and offers views of the strategic confluence where the River Orwell meets the River Deben.
