The east Suffolk town of Woodbridge is a quintessential market town set on the west bank of the magnificent, protected landscape of the River Deben estuary. In 2024, it was voted in a national survey as the happiest town in the United Kingdom!
Woodbridge is the gateway town to the spectacular coast and heaths of East Suffolk. It has a wide array of accommodation, restaurants, pubs and shops, many located in the numerous listed buildings within its historic centre. With good road and rail access from London and the Midlands, and access to other market towns in East Suffolk by both, it provides an excellent base for those exploring the area whether by car, bike or by public transport. The film ‘The Dig’ (which records the finding of a 6th-century burial ship on the east bank of the river, directly opposite Woodbridge) has brought the area to the attention of many and is one of the National Trust’s most successful sites.
The town has a rich history, having been founded in the 10th century. It benefited in the 16th century from the largesse of one of its most famous inhabitants, Thomas Seckford, a member of the Court of Queen Elizabeth I. He left a legacy which continues to benefit the town and built the Grade 1 Shire Hall on Market Hill, to be the local assizes and corn exchange. In 2025, the Shire Hall will be 450 years old and this September, a celebratory event will be held on the adjacent Market Square.
The town architecture reflects the town‘s expansion throughout the following centuries and gives the main shopping areas, of the Thoroughfare and Market Hill a varied and attractive array of buildings. The shopping areas have numerous unique shops, pubs and restaurants in which to browse, shop and eat. The town retains an excellent independent cinema,
Welcome to the happiest town in the Uk!
numerous cultural events throughout the year and a wide range of art galleries.
Woodbridge has sensitively developed its waterfront onto the River Deben with the former boatyard of Whisstock’s and the only working tide mill in England forming one of the core visitor features. At Whisstock’s, a full-sized replica of the Sutton Hoo burial ship is near completion using ancient boat building techniques. Additionally, the spectacular Kings River tapestries recording the history of River Deben can be viewed.
For walkers, nature and bird lovers the riverside footpath, which forms part of new King Charles III path along the River Deben allows exploration of important habitats and views over the river. This path also gives access to the new 117ha Martlesham Wilds Nature Reserve.
For the day tripper to Woodbridge or those seeking an extended stay in East Suffolk to experience its natural beauty, Woodbridge is a great base. We’re sure you’ll enjoy your time and look to return again to explore the area. For those seeking to live in East Suffolk, Woodbridge provides a fantastic mix of excellent local facilities and adjacent country areas to lead a happy and relaxed life.

History of Woodbridge...
Nestled along the River Deben in the east of Suffolk, Woodbridge is a charming market town with a rich tapestry of history that spans centuries. From ancient settlements to modern-day attractions, Woodbridge offers a delightful journey through time.
Ancient Roots & Anglo-Saxon Heritage: The story of Woodbridge begins in the Neolithic Age (25001700BC), with archaeological finds indicating early habitation. The area saw Roman occupation for about 300 years following Queen Boudica's rebellion in 59AD (though little evidence of their presence remains).
The town's most significant historical chapter unfolds during the Anglo-Saxon period. After the Romans departed in 410AD, the Angles settled in East Anglia, giving the region its name. Across the River Deben lies Sutton Hoo, the site of an extraordinary 7th-century ship burial believed to be that of King Rædwald of East Anglia. Discovered in 1939 by amateur archaeologist, Basil Brown, the treasures from this 89-foot-long ship are
among the richest ever found on British soil and are now housed in the British Museum. Visitors to Woodbridge can explore replicas and learn more about this fascinating find at the local museum.
Medieval Growth & Maritime Endeavors: The earliest recorded mention of Woodbridge dates back to the mid10th century when it was acquired by St. Aethelwold, Bishop of Winchester, as part of the endowment for a monastery at Ely in 970. By the time of the Domesday Book in 1086, Woodbridge was noted as a significant settlement with 35 households.
Throughout the Middle Ages, Woodbridge flourished as a hub for boatbuilding, rope-making, and sailmaking. The town's shipyards were renowned, constructing vessels for both Edward III and Sir. Francis Drake. Despite setbacks (like the plague in 1349), the resilient community thrived, leading to the construction of the limestone-adorned St. Mary's Church, complete with a tower and porch added in the 15th century.

Turbulent Times & Industrial
Progress: The 16th century brought religious upheaval. In 1534, Prior Henry Bassingbourne acknowledged Henry VIII's supremacy over the church, leading to the dissolution of Woodbridge Priory three years later. The town wasn't immune to the persecutions of Queen Mary's reign; local residents Alexander Gooch and Alice Driver were martyred for their Protestant beliefs.
Under Elizabeth I, Woodbridge experienced renewed prosperity. Industries such as weaving, sailcloth production, and the wool trade expanded. The port's enlargement bolstered shipbuilding and timber trades, prompting the establishment of a customs house in 1589.
Architectural Heritage & The Tide Mill: Woodbridge boasts a variety of historic buildings from the Tudor, Georgian, Regency, and Victorian eras. A standout landmark is the Woodbridge Tide Mill, one of the earliest tide mills in the UK, with records dating back to 1170. This Grade I listed building has been meticulously restored and remains operational, offering visitors a glimpse into the town's industrious past.
Modern Developments & Military
Significance: In the 20th century, Woodbridge played a role in military history. In 1943, during WWII, the RAF established a military airfield east of the town. Known as RAF Woodbridge, it later served as a base for the US Air Force during the Cold War until 1993. Today, the site operates as MOD Woodbridge, housing British Army units and serving as a training airfield.
A vibrant community preserving its legacy: Today, Woodbridge seamlessly blends its rich historical heritage with modern amenities. The town hosts regular markets and offers a range of independent shops along the Thoroughfare. The picturesque riverside, combined with attractions like the Woodbridge Tide Mill and proximity to Sutton Hoo, make it a delightful town whether you’re lucky enough to call it home or are visiting.
From its ancient origins to its contemporary charm, Woodbridge stands as a testament to resilience and community spirit, inviting all to explore its storied past and vibrant present.
Woodbridge Tide Mill
Author Brian M. Stratton writes about his intriguing new book ‘Crinkle Crankle Walls… and other Suffolk Secrets’ and tells you his reasons for writing it, which he hopes are also why readers will enjoy the book.
Having moved out of London to live in Suffolk, Brian looked forward to exploring pastures new.
“As a relative newcomer to living in Suffolk, I’ve been delighted to discover the towns, villages, countryside and coast of this wonderful county. In a way, this book is a love letter to the area and I hope others will share my enthusiasm.
So who is the book for? You may be a visitor (perhaps in Suffolk for the first time) or you may be on a repeat visit and wanting to explore further.”
Also of course, this book is for locals who may have overlooked hidden gems (Brian apologises for the cliché, he generally avoids them like the plague) or those venues in plain sight either ignored or taken for granted.
Cringle Crankle Walls... & other Suffolk Secrets
There’s something for everyone. Marquee names and headliners are described in the book, but the lesserknown and off-the-touristtrack places are featured as well. All of which will keep you happily intrigued and exploring.
Threaded throughout are fascinating nuggets of information and historical facts which will be revealed as you delve deeper into this thoughtfully written guidebook.

If you’re planning a trip to Woodbridge, you’re in for a real treat! This charming riverside market town (recently named the happiest place to live in England) has a bit of everything; history, nature, great food, and plenty of independent shops to explore. It’s the kind of place that feels delightfully old-fashioned without being stuck in the past. So, grab a coffee and let’s dive into the best things to see and do in Woodbridge!
Stroll along the River Deben
The heart of Woodbridge is undoubtedly the River Deben. The waterfront is picture-perfect, with bobbing boats, quayside pubs, and some beautiful walks along the riverbank. You can start at the famous Tide Mill, one of the oldest working tide mills in the country, and meander along the riverside path. It’s a peaceful way to spend a morning, and if you’re lucky, you might even spot some wading birds or the odd seal!
Visit the Tide Mill Museum
Speaking of the Tide Mill, it’s a mustsee! This historic mill has been grinding grain for over 850 years and is now a fascinating museum. It’s been beautifully restored, and you can see the huge wheel turning with the tide, pretty impressive stuff. They’ve done a great job of keeping it interactive, so it’s a hit with kids and adults alike.
Things to see & do in Woodbridge...
Explore the independent shops
Woodbridge is heaven for anyone who loves a bit of quirky retail therapy. The Thoroughfare is lined with independent shops selling everything from handmade jewellery and vintage finds to artisan foods and local art.
Sip and snack your way around town
Foodies, you’re in luck! Woodbridge punches well above its weight when it comes to places to eat and drink. It seems like there’s a pub on every corner with plenty of cafés and coffee shops filling the gaps. They all offer something a little bit different and you’ll quickly get an idea as to which are your favourites, but be sure to try them all first!

Enjoy the outdoors
If you’re a fan of the great outdoors, Woodbridge won’t disappoint. There are some stunning walks around the town and along the river. You could head to Rendlesham Forest for a woodland wander (and maybe spot a UFO if you’re lucky, it’s famous for a supposed alien sighting in the 80s!) Or, take a leisurely boat trip on the Deben for a totally different perspective of the area.
Take a trip to Sutton Hoo
Just a stone’s throw from Woodbridge is Sutton Hoo, one of the most important archaeological sites in the UK. It’s where an Anglo-Saxon ship burial was discovered in 1939, packed with ancient treasures. The National Trust site has a great visitor centre, walking trails, and even a replica of the burial ship. History buff or not, it’s a pretty fascinating place to explore.
Catch a show or an exhibition
For a bit of culture, check out what’s on at The Riverside Theatre. It’s a small but mighty venue that shows a mix of mainstream and indie films, plus live performances. There’s also the Woodbridge Art Club down by the river, often hosting exhibitions by local artists, a lovely way to get a feel for the town’s creative side.
Finally, end your day with a drink by the water. The Boathouse is the perfect place to enjoy watching the sunset with your favourite tipple, where you can sit back, relax, and watch the river slowly ebb and flow. It’s a proper Suffolk moment.
So, whether you’re here for a day, a weekend, or longer, Woodbridge has plenty to keep you entertained. It’s a little slice of Suffolk charm that’s hard not to fall in love with!

Dog friendly Woodbridge...
If you're a dog owner in Woodbridge, you're in luck! This picturesque town is surrounded by beautiful countryside and boasts several fantastic walks. Here are some of the best. (Please bear in mind these are just pointers, check walking routes and footpaths online before grabbing the lead and heading out for an adventure).
Sutton Hoo: Located just a short drive from Woodbridge, Sutton Hoo is a stunning 255-acre estate with ancient burial mounds and panoramic views of the River Deben. Dogs are welcome on the estate, and there are plenty of walking trails to explore. Be sure to keep your dog on a lead, as sheep graze in some areas.
Rendlesham Forest: Rendlesham Forest is a popular spot for dog walkers, with over 1,500 hectares of woodland to explore. The forest is home to a variety of wildlife, including deer and birds of prey. There are several walking trails to choose from, ranging from easy strolls to more challenging hikes. You might want to keep your eyes open for UFOs here!
Buttrum's Mill: Buttrum's Mill is a restored windmill located just outside Woodbridge. Dogs are welcome in the surrounding meadow, which offers beautiful views of the mill and the surrounding countryside. There are also several walking trails in the area, including a circular route that takes in the mill and nearby woodland.
River Deben: The River Deben is a stunning waterway that runs through Woodbridge and out to the coast. There are plenty of walks for you and your fourlegged friend along the river, including a scenic route that starts at the Tide Mill and follows the river out to the picturesque village of Waldringfield.
Vets: Just in case your dog should feel under the weather while visiting Woodbridge, the nearest veterinary clinics are:
• Be aware of (and adhere to) restrictions limiting where dogs can go, particularly if it impacts local wildlife or livestock.
• Keep your dog close to you and under your control at all times.
• Use a lead when needed or requested.
• Prevent your dog from approaching cordoned areas.
• Always bag and bin your dog’s waste
Woodbridge Tide Mill...
Winter work continues at Woodbridge Tide Mill Museum. Woodbridge’s favourite Tide Mill Museum closes from November to April each year. This is partly due to the winter weather whistling around its unheated floors, but mainly to allow maintenance. The Mill was extensively refurbished in 1971 and 2011, but a wooden building on an exposed waterfront requires constant attention to open to the public.
This year is no exception. The engineering team and outside contractors have been busy on several projects to keep the Mill as the only working tide mill in the UK. There’s a lot going on...
Hurst Frame Repairs: Uppermost, is a repair of the Hurst Frame. It’s designed to protect the building from the vibrations of milling. It holds the ‘stars of the show’, the principal machinery. Seeing the oak and cast-iron Pit Wheel, Wallower, Great Spur Wheel, the millstones in their Tuns and the majestic Crown Wheel in action, all driven by the vast Millwheel - attracts visitors from all over the world.
The Hurst Frame was under threat. Rising tides mean it’s enormous oak feet are underwater for long periods. Prolonged submersion threatens the structure. The Mill’s Trustees’ plan for restoration secured grants from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Suffolk County Council to allow remedial work to be undertaken by Chapel Properties.
The Frame has been supported while the bottom of the two legs have been replaced by specialist waterproof concrete and a tough Ekki timber plate, inserted between the concrete and frame. So now, the frame will stand firm on water-resistant legs for years to come.

...Continued from page 23
Machinery maintenance: When work on the Hurst Frame concludes, other jobs can be completed.
Replacement of waterwheel wedges: The giant waterwheel is held fast on its main oak shaft by many oak wedges. At the end of last season, some of these wedges worked loose and slipped out. Replacement gave rise to a splendid piece of cooperation with the Ships Company, working at the Longshed next to the Mill on Woodbridge’s Historic Waterfront.
Using oak ‘offcuts’ from the extraordinary, groundbreaking work they’re doing on the reconstruction of the Anglo-Saxon Sutton Hoo Mound 1 ship, the Sutton Hoo Ship’s Company made some new wedges to help the project.
Dental work: Years ago, the engineers that designed and built mills used wooden teeth in cast iron frames so they could replace worn/broken teeth quicker. It also reduced fire risk and make the machinery quieter.
Replacement is an ongoing requirement. The Pit Wheel alone has 110 teeth. These are replaced in batches and, because the casting of the enormous wheel was a bit ‘eccentric’, each tooth has to be adjusted to fit. Finding the oak and machining the blanks is also an ongoing task and cost.
Dodgy paddles: The mighty waterwheel is a ‘must see’ for visitors. New in 2011, it also needs regular fettling. Prime in this endeavour is changing broken paddle boards. These too are made from English oak. We have to source and mill these boards before fitting.
External maintenance: The Tide Mill is not looking her best at present. There’s a growing green tinge to her once bright white livery. As an east coast icon, much photographed, drawn and painted by artists, she has standards to maintain. A major fundraising push is planned to help redecorate the outside of the Mill. An exposed white wooden building next to a salt water river on the east coast of England needs serious, weatherresistant paint applied professionally to a carefully prepared surface. Even access is expensive, requiring firmly-attached and compliant scaffolding over weeks/ months.
The Mill is a living museum. It’s biggest exhibit is itself, and so maintenance is vital. It may not look as if anything’s happening during the winter months but this is the time when a lot of activity behind a closed door takes place. Much more is planned. As well as regular maintenance and fundraising for external renovation, we’re working on new signage to make the Mill more evident to visitors and building wider access to the Mill virtually so that (at least online) the Mill will be ‘open’ all year round.
