This is an incredible museum and memorial to the bomber crews that flew from here during the war. Lots of interesting stories and artifacts and the volunteers that work there are enthusiastic and have an extraordinary knowledge of the history of the base. Couldn't recommend more highly. I've been multiple times and have a jumper too!

A lovely forest with plenty of walks for all abilities; whether it’s to walk the dog, a Sunday afternoon stroll, plenty of resources to find your inner ‘Bear Grylls’ or take your bikes along and explore . . .

Industrial Heritage & Local History Museum based in a fully operational flour mill. A Covid Secure destination, you can book tickets to visit the Tide Mill via our website - www.woodbridgetidemill.org. uk
Reviewed By HappyHaven20 - Coventry, United Kingdom
Last weekend we went along to the Tide Mill. I was a bit apprehensive as I’d been shielding since the end of February but I was soon put at ease. Covid-19 has changed everything but at the Tide Mill they have put a lot of safety procedures into place. You need to book ahead. Only 6 people at a time to ensure social distancing. Hand sanitizer and face masks ???? available for those who turn up without them. And track-and-trace information taken. Then once inside, it was a very informative tour by one of the volunteer workers. The mill is full of history. It has a record of the full history of ownership which is fascinating. We were lucky to be there when the tide was coming in so we could see the mill at work; watching the huge oak water wheel turning. It’s fascinating how it works. There is a little gift shop to purchase souvenirs. You can even purchase some flour they have made at the mill (produced the same way for centuries) which we did to make bread with. I’m looking forward to seeing the outcome. Highly recommend a visit if you are in the area. Reasonably priced. It would be a great experience for children; with an interactive model and a kids trail to find the hidden mice. Sadly due to Covid-19 the experience of tasting the flour has had to be stopped for obvious reasons. We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon, thank you ????

A fantastic and fascinating museum, very informative with knowledgeable volunteers and staff, and well worth more than just one visit. Although smaller than some aviation museums the wealth of information and presentation of the artefacts is far better than a lot of those other museums, the displays are nicely focussed on the twin bases of Bentwaters and Woodbridge with the descriptions on the displays concise and easy to read. A real 10/10 experience.

Walled park, established many years ago. Lots of lovely trees & well tended grass with walkways through that local people seem to use too. Some of the original swings from my childhood- still there many years on as are the loos that maybe should become a "listed building"! Beyond the park wall, running parallel, lie a road, the railway, tree lined lane & the River Deben estuary.

Kingston field is a lovely place to walk the dog along the harbour and grassy field. There is a big café which serves cakes, coffees, fizzy drinks and more. There is a lot of play equipment and I like to meet friends here to talk and relax.

Congo Rapids Lost World is an 18 hole jungle and dinosaur themed adventure golf course. It's Florida style theming includes a ride on a self-propelled boat to enter the course across the first water lagoon. Your journey then takes you past the scene of a plane crash and around the cannibal cooking pot. Pass through the abandoned temple and ride on a raft into the Lost World where you will be greeted by life sized dinosaurs. Play past the erupting volcano and through the giant claw before you head back into the Congo jungle. Enjoy a panoramic view of the course from the African style village while you play the closing holes

With thanks to the £1.8million National Lottery grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) and all the support from our visitors and supporters through our fundraising events, Sutton Hoo is embarking on major changes across the site, transforming the way we tell the story of one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time. The project, called ‘Releasing the Sutton Hoo Story’, will enable the National Trust to create an experience that helps visitors discover more about this internationally significant site and how its stories have captured the imaginations of people the world over. Whilst we make these exciting changes, the site will be opening from the late spring and summer of 2019. We'll be sharing regular updates across social media and on our website, so do take a look and see what we're up to!

If you have any sense of, or interest in, the history of this island you cannot fail to enjoy Sutton Hoo. It is famed for the splendid Anglo-Saxon ship burial unearthed in 1939 and archaeologists continue to dig at the site close to the mound that offered up the greatest 'Dark Age' treasures. But the stories of Basil Brown (the man who did the digging) and landowner Edith Pretty are no less interesting in themselves. We had a lovely walk around the site and enjoyed our visit to Tranmer House. The exhibition is well done, albeit plans to develop the site demonstrate there is as yet un-tapped potential. Including time for a coffee and scone we probably spent four hours on our visit which was excellent value.
