Walks Around Woodbridge
River Walks Start & Finish point: Woodbridge Station
River Walks
The Riverside Walk
There are seats situated at key viewing points so you can look at the amazing variety of wildlife on the Deben Estuary.
The water meadows are flanked by ancient pollarded willow and carpeted with wild flowers in spring and early summer.
You’ll see: Oyster Catchers, Terns, Shellduck, Redshank, Egrit, Avocet AND… if you are lucky, one of the ‘Deben Seals’.
Woodbridge Heritage Walk
Follow Ferry Quay around to the left – this is Woodbridge’s hub of maritime heritage, and includes:
Woodbridge Tide Mill: the last working tide mill in the whole North Sea basin. It traded from at least 1170 to 1957. It is now restored and open to visitors.
You may find that there is a glass topped wall to your left. This is a retractable flood defence, in place when high tides are expected. This was previously Whisstocks boatyard, which closed in 1990. Its redevelopment includes Woodbridge Museum (left) and The Longshed – and a coffee shop. When the flood defence is closed, these buildings are accessible from the right hand side.
The Longshed is a community boatshed, owned by Woodbridge Town Council, and run by a charitable organisation, the Woodbridge Riverside Trust. The maritime heritage of Woodbridge and the surrounding area is its main interest, visitors are welcome during opening times, and you will be able to find out more about the points of interest on this walk here. In the near future, the construction of a full size replica of the Sutton Hoo Anglo Saxon Sutton burial ship will start in the Longshed.
Return to the boatyard, cross the railway, head straight on - up Dock Lane. Cut through a footpath after the Bowls Club, to the Melton Road. Follow Melton Road back into Woodbridge.

Simon and Mel have installed some additional pontoons at Granary Yacht Harbour in Woodbridge. It's a hidden gem on the Deben, we float 24/7 and access is the same or usually a tad better than Tidemill; we draw 1.4m and access is an average of HW-2.5 Their labour rates are reasonable and more importantly it's a traditional friendly boatyard. We pay £15 per metre per month, payable quarterly. Plus it's in Woodbridge and the views over the river and National Trust bird sanctuary are better than staring at another boat in a marina. I had to give 6 months notice to get in here originally so if it sounds like it may suit then it's worth getting in touch with them.

River Deben
- Useful links
Our moorings are in part of the tidal estuary of the River Deben, from the Woodbridge Tide Mill, down to Methersgate Quay. It includes Troublesome Reach and Loder's Cut.
The channel is marked by buoys and this route should be adhered to at low tide, taking heed of further sandbanks at points either side of Loders Cut.
Martlesham Creek branches off at Kyson Point.
The Deben Estuary is a Special Protection Area and Ramsar Site and within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Its significance arises from its over-wintering population of avocets. There are regular sitings of common seals and the salt marsh and intertidal mud-flats have the widest range of salt marsh flora in Suffolk.
There are several yacht and dinghy clubs on the river Deben. These include the Deben Yacht Club, the Woodbridge Cruising Club, the Waldringfield Sailing Club and Felixstowe Ferry Sailing Club. There are two yacht harbours, the Tidemill Yacht Habour, close to the Tide Mill; and the Granary Yacht Harbour, further upstream at Melton.
