  • Join me as I explore one of Suffolk’s best-kept secrets - the Bawdsey Foot Ferry! This charming little ferry has been transporting passengers across the River Deben for centuries, connecting Bawdsey with Felixstowe Ferry. In this video, we’ll take a ride on the ferry, enjoy the scenic views of the river, and discover the history behind this iconic Suffolk crossing.
    Whether you’re a local or a visitor, the Bawdsey Foot Ferry offers a peaceful and picturesque way to experience the Suffolk coast. From its fascinating history to the stunning natural surroundings, this is a unique part of the county that deserves to be explored.

    The wife and I lived in Felixstowe when we both worked there. Now we are about 25 miles away but often drive down to Felixstowe, park up and walk to the Ferry for tea and cakes at the cafe called Winkles in the little hut and then a walk back to the car. Alternatively, we park in Town, walk to Landgaurd and have afternoon tea at the View Point Cafe watching ships loading, coming in and leaving. An evening meal of Cod & Chips from Regal Fish & Chips near the peer is absolutely brilliant to round off the day before driving back home.

We'll definitely return , the people were very nice to we thought , it seemed like a community people were pleased to belong to. we can well see why you enjoy it so much. Best wishes Helena and Martin.

    Some excellent clips and photos, Martin. Love those little ferries in Suffolk - been on the one at Walberswick. As an aside, we've just returned from touring Eastern France and Lac Neuchatel in Switzerland. If you are in the area, would thoroughly recommend visiting La Clusaz and Le Grand - Bornand - stunning locations in the Northern Alps. We were there on the day they brought the cows down from the mountains - there was a rock band playing and a local 'roots' band, all to the accompaniment of dozens of cow bells clanging away! Pandemonium!

    We really must visit Suffolk at some point. Probably one to put on the agenda for one of our meet-ups. As always very well captured. We noticed a bit of a dynamic shift in this one as Helen was filming Martin taking his photos. Definitely a river crossing like I’ve never seen 😜

    Ahhh...very familiar area to me! Only not too long ago, I used to work out of Felixstowe! Had you continued on the coast south, there is a nice park and also an old Coastwatch Martello Tower still in use I believe. Just a bit further along is a lovely grassed ares to give the dog a good run

    The river name is Deben but it has a long E in the pronunciation so it's "Deeben"
