16th April 2026 Hiking - Walking: Woodbridge circuit Wind Direction: Wind Stength: Surf / Sea State: Air Temperature: Sea Temperature: Weather: Mainly cloudy with some light showers Max Speed: Distance Covered: 3.32 miles (Nautical Miles - unless stated otherwise) Thursday 16th April - walk **** – Woodbridge circuit – mainly cloudy with very light rain. There was a chance of enough breeze for a windsurf foil but after waiting for ages yesterday for the tide to drop and the wind to pick up I couldn’t face that again and thought it would nice to spend some time with Mag:) After breakfast I started my exercises in the sunny back garden, then a few very light showers started so I had to finish them indoors before packing a picnic. I was not sure where to go but decided on Woodbridge as we haven’t been there for awhile and left Felixstowe around midday in yet more showers, not very promising for a walk! We managed to park at the park with the tennis courts behind the sailing club and had to wait for a shower to pass before setting off to the railway crossing leading to Kyson Point, still miserable in the wet but luckily that cleared even if for the most part remained cloudy! The rare breed’s cattle in the marshy area leading down to the River Deben had calves which were cool! You come out on the Deben path just short of Martlesham Creek but we turned back towards Woodbridge, the path is very doomed and not great to walk on for such a popular route! The tide was high so not many birds and still too early in the year for boats on the river! We found a bench sheltered from the breeze blowing down the river with lovely views down towards the Tide Mill to enjoy another top picnic lunch and even got a few brief glimpse of sun with a top bank of clouds over Woodbridge! After a relaxing lunch we continued onto the Tide Mill past a ramshackle selection of houseboats and barges as with most of these waterside spots many of the craft are well past their best! The big red van selling coffee is parked in front of the Tide Mill which somewhat spoils the look and is not great for photos :( For a change we headed up to the big church near the private school and found a nice footpath through a park leading to the main road before making a small detour to look at the very expensive plants in Notcutts Garden Centre, Mag did find a couple of nice ones for a fiver before returning to the van. We took the scenic county lane route back to Felixstowe, spotting two muntjac deer near The Fox pub in Newbourne to end a really nice day out despite the less than perfect weather! Photo Album here |
