Days Out in Woodbridge

Woodbridge is a lovely town on the River Deben – and here we find our first idea for a great Day Out! The River is an impressive sight and you can stroll down by the River bank admiring the scenery perhaps take a picnic with family and friends? There’s plenty to see and admire on the River bank – lots of boats of course, plus Tide Mill Quay (pictured above) which was fully refurbished in 2004 with the help of a lottery grant.

Sutton Hoo is an ancient burial mound of an Anglo-Saxon warrior King’s ship and is today managed by the National Trust. The ship was discovered in 1938 along with an iconic warrior’s helmet & shield, plus gold and silver treasures. The exhibition and these items on display at the site tell the fascinating story of Anglo-Saxon warriors, kings and treasures, with a full-size burial chamber reconstruction. 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.
