The fencing has gone as the land owners have stopped farmi g cows for dheep as they do less enviromental damage.

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.

Drydale Bottom is a historic rural lane in Wantisden, passing through an area once home to medieval farmsteads and fields. The road offers wide open views of the surrounding countryside, making it a fantastic cycling route.

Snape Malting is a renowned arts and cultural complex set within a former maltings building by the River Alde. It offers a variety of galleries, shops, and performance spaces, including the famous Snape Maltings Concert Hall. It's definitely worth stopping here for a coffee if you have time.

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.

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.

Nice fast section of road, staple.

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

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.

Great real ale venue, if you ask nicely they will let you take your bikes in to the beer garden. No food other than crisps etc but 10's of real ales, ciders and perry to drink. Great venue!

Ferry across the estuary

Very sandy segment - more a walk in dry spells

The tree itself is on private land in a small paddock. You can safely ride to the gates also used in the series and view the tree from there. I was lucky enough to meet someone working on the parkland who was happy for me to nip in and grab a quick snap.
