Ferries in Suffolk

There are Four Foot Ferries in Suffolk, all located in the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), one of Britains finest landscapes. The AONB covers 150 square miles and receives special protection because of its outstanding landscape, heritage and wildlife.

There are only 47 AONB's in Britain, 2 of them in Suffolk (the second is Dedham Vale), so you can see how special they are.
