Woodbridge

Woodbridge is a vibrant market town on the banks of the River Deben in Suffolk, England, just 8 miles from the coast and 9 miles north-east of Ipswich. It is on the East Suffolk rail line between Ipswich and Lowestoft.

Woodbridge has a charming Thoroughfare of boutiques, independent shops, cafes, pubs and places to stay. Visit the Tide Mill or take a river trip.

A big attraction is nearby National Trust Sutton Hoo, the burial site of King Raedwald of East Anglia and location of the richest treasure find ever found on British soil.
