Popular cafe near the quayside. There's no dedicated bike parking but you can use an outside table or just lean your bike against a bollard outside, which are easily visible through the floor to ceiling windows. Open 9-5 every day.

On the River Debden, Woodbridge makes a beautiful location for a run. It is best known as being the home of Sutton Hoo, the burial site of an Anglo-Saxon King. He was interred in a ship surrounded by his most valuable possessions.

This is Woodbridge Tide Mill Museum. Woodbridge was one of the first tide mills in the country, and was unquestionably the last one working – operating for well over 800 years. For all the facts and history information go to https://woodbridgetidemill.org.uk/
