Located between Landguard Fort and the Port of Felixstowe is the John Bradfield Viewing Area. From here you can enjoy stunning views across the estuary. Though the scenery is beautiful, most come here to watch the Port of Felixstowe (Britain's busiest port) and the vast container ships that come into the harbour.

The Landguard Visitor Centre and View Point Cafe offers displays, videos and exhibits, public toilets and a cafe with indoor and outdoor seating.

There are racks to secure your bike within view of the cafe.

Fancy a coffee break with a completely different view? Try the cafe at the end. Sit and watch all the container ships docking

The View Point Cafe overlooks the quayside, with outdoor tables and bike racks (Sheffield U-stands). Fairly basic, but open 9am-4pm every day.
