그레이트 빌링스 주변 최고의 라이딩 경로

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)

good coffee stop used by lots of cyclists

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

Benches and a shop nearby

surprisingly good beach for small fossils such as sharks teeth

Great little ferry in a beautiful place

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.

Convenient location just outside Woodbridge. Lots of outside space. Open 8.30am-3pm Mon-Sat.

Popular cafe near the quayside. There's no dedicated bike parking but you can use an outside table or just lean your bike against a bollard outside, which are easily visible through the floor to ceiling windows. Open 9-5 every day.

Gorgeous location on Woodbridge Quayside. Cafes and bars nearby to pick up a drink or snack, then enjoy while soaking up the view of the estuary.

Nice glimpse towards the coast from the slightly higher ground of the road.

cycle provision here is not too bad. best not to do in rush hours.

There are some fantastic independent stores. Also the charity shops have a slightly higher standard than usual.

Very posh lunches but worth it as an occasional treat https://www.honeyandharvey.co.uk

Ferry across the estuary

Limited parking so try the harbour one down the road

With commanding views over Orford Ness, the castle stands 27m (90ft) tall and looks remarkably similar to when it was built over 700 years ago. The materials used to build the castle were brought from far and wide with some timbers coming from Scarborough and limestone from Caen in France. Legend has it the 'Wild Man of Orford' was held in the castle in the 12th century. Described as a merman he was captured by fisherman but eventually escaped.

Stoney beach which can get an amazing sunset

Real ale, coffee, great food.
