マートルシャム周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

The cafe has closed permanently per Google maps. Hoped for a replacement but no sign of any café on the Bawdsey side now (June 2025)

The south leg is a lot of gravel roads and bridleways. Once off the ferry it's all tarmacked.

Great little ferry in a beautiful place

Probably the most scenic part of Ipswich (admittedly not a very high bar).

The next crossing point upstream is Melton, so this saves a big detour! £4 one way with a bike - cash only though. The ferry shuttles back and forth across the estuary mouth on demand so you won't have to wait long. Runs Easter-April on weekends, then daily until end of September, 10am-5pm.

It's a dead end for roadies as there's only one tarmacked road to it but it's a nice ride and there's the Tinto Café horsebox at the car park, which does hot drinks, sandwiches and toasties, cakes and snacks. Officially it closes at 4pm but it was still serving at 4.30 when I was there, thankfully.

It is not so common for a Christian place of worship – which encompasses the whole of heaven – to be dedicated to “ALL SAINTS”. Usually it is one (or occasionally two) named saints who hold the patronage of a church – and thus usually also of the parish or town in which it is located. But to find the origin of such a dedication, one has to go far back in history, because the model for this practice of dedication to ALL SAINTS can be seen as a pagan custom, according to which there were already central temples in pre-Christian times that were dedicated to all deities (PANTHEON). The probably most famous Pantheon, formerly a pagan temple and now a Christian place of worship, is located in the Italian capital.
