Located at the southerly most point of the town of Felixstowe
the Landguard Peninsula has a wonderful and unique mix of history,
nature and commerce.
Experience the rich military and maritime heritage of Landguard
Fort, which has been defending the eastern region from attack for
over 400 years. At the neighbouring Felixstowe Museum, you can
discover amazing local history - fourteen rooms packed with
treasures and artefacts celebrating this seaside town.
Surrounding the fort and museum are the wildflower rich
grassland and coastal vegetated shingle habitats of Landguard
Nature Reserve - home to wonderful flora and fauna. Go
bird-watching, take a cycle ride or stroll along the beach. Our
feathered friends here are all recorded by the Bird Observatory
housed in a former military building.
A trip to Landguard is not complete without visiting the
spectacular John Bradfield Viewing Area looking over Harwich
Harbour and the Port of Felixstowe - the UK’s largest container
port. Watch the daily activities and spot giant ships from around
the world.
With a range of special events and activities throughout the
year, Landguard offers a great day out for all ages and interests,
