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.

Look for the Flamingo

Execellent mix of trails, although the sandy ones are hard work

keep an eye on the times guys

surprisingly good beach for small fossils such as sharks teeth

Great little ferry in a beautiful place

Created for the Millennium, a superb steel sculpture in the parish on the road to Butley. It shows St Andrew the fisherman, with a catch of herrings and eels. At his feet is the church, which is now the only church in the parish of Capel St Andrew. It bears the date 1539, when Butley Priory was dissolved.

A dead end for roadies but a scenic approach across the marshes towards the huge shingle bar that protects the coast.

A classic diner-style 'caff' with a vintage feel. You're best at the outside picnic tables, with views towards the river.

Great views of the mouth of the Deben estuary and the sailing dinghies and yachts coming and going. There are toilets, cafe & ice-cream van.

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.

Here you can find a foot and bicycle ferry that runs between Felixstowe Ferry and Bawdsey. There are daily service from May to September, and weekends only from Good Friday to 30 April and October. There is also a café nearby, The Ferry Café, a quirky establishment born in 1946 and still sporting 50s inspired interior.

The Rendlesham UFO landing site in Rendlesham Forest is an iconic location that gained international attention due to a series of reported UFO sightings in December 1980. Often referred to as "Britain's Roswell," this incident has become one of the most famous and well-documented UFO encounters in history.

If you are there at low tide be vary careful handling your bike on the jetty and into / out of the boat as it can be very very slippy! £4 single for cyclists.

Ferry across the estuary

Limited parking so try the harbour one down the road

Avoid very dry spells
