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.

Sutton Hoo is a fascinating archaeological site with a rich and immense history. It is most well-known for its Anglo-Saxon burial site, including a ship burial dating back to the 7th century. Visitors are free to roam around the site, discovering interesting exhibitions & sites along the way. There is a network of walking trails and a café on site too.

Rendlesham Forest is a beautiful and curious location in Suffolk, ideal for those interested in extraterrestrial encounters. Follow the trails and be taken on a journey through the forest where, in December 1930, a series of unexplained events and sightings occurred. Whether you want to join in on the fun of Rendlesham's mysterious past or not, the forest is still an excellent place to get out in nature and enjoy some fresh air and exercise.

Installed in 2003, the Scallop is a beautiful piece of art that reflects the coastal light wonderfully. It was sculpted by local artist Maggi Hambling in memory of the composer Benjamin Britten. He took daily walks along the sea during the many years he lived in Aldeburgh. The Scallop has faced a fair amount of local opposition due to its prominent position on the otherwise undisturbed bay.

A great section of the ore with great views back towards Orford and the castle

Rendlesham Forest was planted as commercial woodland in the 1920s. The forest was the setting for a well-known UFO incident in 1980. Servicemen at RAF Woodbridge saw lights in the trees. They reported discovering a conical object, about the size of a car, floating in a forest clearing, which disappeared as they approached. 🛸 There are toilets at the car park, and a network of gravel trails to ride.

Take binoculars with you to view the huge buildings along the coast or 200mm lense.
