For those interested in history, a visit to Dunwich (20 miles) and it’s small donation funded museum would be worthwhile, it tells the story of the city lost to the sea. There are castles to visit at Framlingham (18miles) and Orford (6 miles). At Orfordness (7 miles) you will find pagoda style buildings and broadcasting aerials which over the years led to many rumours as the public were not allowed on this small strip of land. To discover the reasons for the secrecy you can now visit by catching a ferry from Orford to this National Trust property. You can take a boat trip along the River Ore, around Havergate Island to view the birds and plants in this protected area. There are also boat trips along the rivers Deben and Orwell and small ferries to take you across both these rivers and the nearby Butley Creek.
