With coastal vibes, cobbled streets and
independent retailers, Woodbridge
should be top of your list when visiting
Suffolk. We’ve planned a two-day
itinerary to ensure you enjoy the best of
what the town has to offer.
Day 1
10am – Arrive early
Your accommodation might not be
ready until later in the day, but you can
park up at one of seven pay and display
car parks in the town and settle yourself
into your surroundings with a coffee
and breakfast at The Tea Hut. Sitting on
the banks of the stunning River Deben
it serves hot drinks, cooked breakfasts
and lighter bites.
11am – 1pm – Deben Cruise
Take a two-hour cruise along the
River Deben; one of the most beautiful
stretches of the water in the East with an
abundance of wildlife to see. You can
sit back, relax and listen to the onboard
commentary as you take in the view. It
is ideal for photographers and wildlife
lovers. Trips leave twice daily between
May and October, on this all-weather
cruiser. You can check availability and
book ahead online at

1pm – 2pm – Pub Lunch
Pop into the Coach and Horses for a
traditional pub lunch, serving salads,
sandwiches, steaks and hot dishes of
the day. The bar stocks local ales as
well as a range of wines, spirits and soft
drinks. The pub includes vegetarian and
gluten free menus and is dog-friendly
too. Food is served all day, every day
12pm until 9pm. www.debeninns.
