Woodbridge is a beautiful medieval market town nestling on the bank of the river Deben in the ancient county of Suffolk. Steeped in history, Woodbridge, (from the Norse/Saxon "Woden's Town"), is one of the county's most desirable places to live. Set in an area of outstanding natural beauty, Woodbridge is also a natural base from which to explore the countryside. The traditional coastal towns of Aldeburgh and Southwold, as well as Framlingham Castle and Minsmere bird reserve, are all close by.

Situated only 7 miles from the sea, its bustling riverside is crammed with yachts and boats. Woodbridge's famous tide mill, the only working tide mill in the country, is now fully restored and offers a fascinating insight into the past. For those who like to sail there is a tranquil marina, several boatyards and two sailing clubs. On the eastern bank of the river is the archaeological site of Sutton Hoo, the world famous burial site of Raedwald, one of England's earliest kings. The Deben estuary is a haven for birds including greenshank, redshank, curlew, oyster catcher and heron. There are many varied and pretty riverside walks where these birds can often be seen.
