Woodbridge


Woodbridge is a lovely town in Suffolk across the river from Sutton Hoo. It is best to tie these two places into one visit for a full day out.

There are a lot of lovely independent shops along the high street that are worth popping in. There are also many buildings that date back to the Tudor era.

The village has great suggestion of how the best wander around and see the sights to see the history, check it out here.

In the Middle Ages, Woodbridge was a very important shipbuilding center. Edward III and Sir Francis Drake both had ships commissioned here.

Its tide mill still runs and is one of only two left in the country.

There also used to be a RAF base here which is where the USAF used to be based. The 79th Fight Squadron was here during the Cold War. There were other squadrons here that were part of the 81st Fight Wing.

Stop by!

All the Best!
