Overview

From Sutton Heath the walk heads to Sutton Hoo (Buried Ship) and then south beside the River Deben.  As we leave the river we will pass by a paddock containing miniature donkeys (no guarantees they will be out) before returning on primary sandy paths to the car park.  Picnic lunch.

Sutton Heath car park is on the B1083. From Woodbridge, go passed Melton Station. Go over Wilford Bridge. Take the right at the small roundabout, after passing Sutton Hoo on the right keep keep straight on and do not take the road to the left. There is a large car park on the left about a mile from the Sutton Hoo turning. Note: Post Code is not accurate.
