Days Out in Woodbridge
Woodbridge is a lovely town that lies on the River Debden - and here we find our first day out idea! The river is an impressive sight and simply perfect for a quiet stroll or a picnic with family and friends.
The River Deben is home to the Woodbridge Tide Mill, one of the earliest examples of such a building in the UK. The mill has been restored and is now open to the public. For more information on Woodbridge and its fascinating historical buildings please see our Guide to Woodbridge.
Another simply fantastic site to visit along the River Debden is Sutton Hoo, Woodbridge - ancient burial mounds of an Anglo-Saxon warrior king's ship, protected by the National Trust. The ship was discovered in 1938 along with an iconic warrior's helmet & shield, plus gold and silver treasures. These items are on display at the site and the exhibition tells the compelling story of Anglo-Saxon warriors, treasure and kings, with a full-size reconstruction of the burial chamber. Events are held at Sutton Hoo throughout the year, such as guided tours, Anglo-Saxon themed events, wildlife walks, talks, open-air theatre, plus family events and children's activities. Please click on the link above for more information.
Woodbridge has a fabulous reputation for being a great town for foodies, and there are a number of tempting places to Eat Out in Woodbridge while on your day trip.
Shopaholics will be pleased to hear that Woodbridge is a Fairtrade Town that sells ethically-traded goods in many of its shops. There are lovely mixes of small, independent shops alongside the large chain stores that you would expect to find in a town centre.
Those of you with a passion for seeking out antique delights will enjoy a visit to the Woodbridge Antiques Centre, just two minutes from the train station. Within you will find over 20 showcases full of little treasures from carefully selected dealers, such as beautiful antique jewellery, porcelain, pottery, paintings, prints, clocks & watches, plus other items from times gone by. Find a unique souvenir from your day out in Woodbridge, or take home a lovely gift for someone special.
If you are seeking relaxing activities, the golf club at Ufford Park Hotel, Golf & Spa, Woodbridge, is open to the public. You could also book an appointment at the luxurious spa complete with state-of-the-art thermal suite and highly trained beauty therapists. Or visit the Health Club which includes a large gymnasium and deck level swimming pool. Please click on the link above for more information.
It's quite possible that you will enjoy your day out in Woodbridge so much that you will choose to return for a longer stay. There are a great many accommodation options available including Woodbridge Hotels to suit all budgets, for example - Thatched Farm B&B and Holiday Cottages, Woodbridge.
There are also plenty of B&Bs, cottages and other self-catering accommodation, plus camping and caravanning sites - please see Accommodation in Woodbridge for a full list of options.
