Overview

A Sutton Hoo circular walk. A varied walk along the river at Melton, across the golf course passing throught the Sutton Hoo site, returning along the riverside path to Melton. No promises but maybe snowdrops.. A stop is planned at the National Trust coffee shop but is possible to be directed back to cars. NT members bring cards but it is free to walk the footpath and use cafe. Only toilets at Sutton Hoo halfway round or Woodbridge before walk.
