Ramsholt Walks
This walk visits the lovely riverside village of Ramsholt in Suffolk.
The village is located in a splendid spot for walks along the River Deben. You can start your walk from the public car park next to Ramsholt Quay and the Ramsholt Arms Public House. From here you can pick up a public footpath heading north along the eastern bank of the river. This will take you past the woodland at the Lodge Plantation before coming to the attractive Shottisham Creek. The route then continues to Stonner Point before finishing at the picturesque Methersgate Quay. You can continue north to Ferry Cliff where you can enjoy views over the river to Woodbridge on the other side. In this area you can also pick up the Sutton Hoo Walk and explore a fascinating Anglo-Saxon burial site run by the National Trust.
The River Deben Walk runs along the western bank from Woodbridge to Felixstowe Ferry.

Ramsholt Arms Public House, Dock Road. This Victorian pub is situated in a remote, unspoilt corner of Suffolk on the bank of the River Deben. Opened April 28th 1908, when the license was transferred from the nearby Dock Inn. This pub features in the film 'Yesterday' where Jack Malik (played by Himesh Patel) sings the Beatles song "Yesterday" in the beer garden.

The Lodge and wildfowl ponds, Ramsholt, Suffolk. Looking east from banks of River Deben. I believe that the ponds in front are man-made and are designed to lure in wildfowl at dusk.
