Woodbridge tide Mill

Choose Woodbridge for its history, picturesque views and welcoming atmosphere. Nestling near the head of the tidal reaches of the River Deben, Woodbridge has been chosen as an ideal place for a settlement for over 1200 years. This location is still highly sought after. The Elizabethan Shire Hall houses a museum celebrating the Suffolk Punch Horse and the local history museum.

Woodbridge Shire HallOther landmark sights include the much-photographed historic Tide Mill and Buttrum's Windmill. Across the river is the Anglo-Saxon burial ground of Sutton Hoo operated by the National Trust.

During the summer months all these attractions are linked by an open top bus service on Thursdays and Saturdays.

Once you are in Woodbridge there are a host of independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants to visit, all serving things that are just that little bit different from anywhere else. A chance to experience real shopping again.
