This is an incredible museum and memorial to the bomber crews that flew from here during the war. Lots of interesting stories and artifacts and the volunteers that work there are enthusiastic and have an extraordinary knowledge of the history of the base. Couldn't recommend more highly. I've been multiple times and have a jumper too!
3. Orford Ness National Nature Reserve

Wild, remote and exposed, Orford Ness contains the ruined remnants of a disturbing past. Ranked among the most important shingle features in the world, rare and fragile wildlife thrives where weapons, including atomic bombs, were once tested and perfected.

Orford Ness was a military experimental centre from the First World War until 1995. From the development of radar in the 1930s to the testing of some components of nuclear weapons in the 1950s & 60s - plus other experiments and research, elements of which are still Top Secret! You will see the remains of the the military history and the rich flora and fauna that are increasingly important as the military remains are allowed to decay. Well worth a visit - to see it all involves a walk of more than 7kms.

A lovely forest with plenty of walks for all abilities; whether it’s to walk the dog, a Sunday afternoon stroll, plenty of resources to find your inner ‘Bear Grylls’ or take your bikes along and explore . . .

Industrial Heritage & Local History Museum based in a fully operational flour mill. A Covid Secure destination, you can book tickets to visit the Tide Mill via our website - www.woodbridgetidemill.org. uk
Reviewed By HappyHaven20 - Coventry, United Kingdom
Last weekend we went along to the Tide Mill. I was a bit apprehensive as I’d been shielding since the end of February but I was soon put at ease. Covid-19 has changed everything but at the Tide Mill they have put a lot of safety procedures into place. You need to book ahead. Only 6 people at a time to ensure social distancing. Hand sanitizer and face masks ???? available for those who turn up without them. And track-and-trace information taken. Then once inside, it was a very informative tour by one of the volunteer workers. The mill is full of history. It has a record of the full history of ownership which is fascinating. We were lucky to be there when the tide was coming in so we could see the mill at work; watching the huge oak water wheel turning. It’s fascinating how it works. There is a little gift shop to purchase souvenirs. You can even purchase some flour they have made at the mill (produced the same way for centuries) which we did to make bread with. I’m looking forward to seeing the outcome. Highly recommend a visit if you are in the area. Reasonably priced. It would be a great experience for children; with an interactive model and a kids trail to find the hidden mice. Sadly due to Covid-19 the experience of tasting the flour has had to be stopped for obvious reasons. We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon, thank you ????

A fantastic and fascinating museum, very informative with knowledgeable volunteers and staff, and well worth more than just one visit. Although smaller than some aviation museums the wealth of information and presentation of the artefacts is far better than a lot of those other museums, the displays are nicely focussed on the twin bases of Bentwaters and Woodbridge with the descriptions on the displays concise and easy to read. A real 10/10 experience.

Walled park, established many years ago. Lots of lovely trees & well tended grass with walkways through that local people seem to use too. Some of the original swings from my childhood- still there many years on as are the loos that maybe should become a "listed building"! Beyond the park wall, running parallel, lie a road, the railway, tree lined lane & the River Deben estuary.

Congo Rapids Lost World is an 18 hole jungle and dinosaur themed adventure golf course. It's Florida style theming includes a ride on a self-propelled boat to enter the course across the first water lagoon. Your journey then takes you past the scene of a plane crash and around the cannibal cooking pot. Pass through the abandoned temple and ride on a raft into the Lost World where you will be greeted by life sized dinosaurs. Play past the erupting volcano and through the giant claw before you head back into the Congo jungle. Enjoy a panoramic view of the course from the African style village while you play the closing holes

This is a children's open farm which has been operating for over 30 years - a great place for children to interact with animals.
Reviewed By J3422KBcarolb
We visited the farm with two children age 7 and four months , What a lovely fun filled day ( the weather helped, the park has indoor facilities as well as our door ). Parking and access were easy, there are a lot of concrete areas but even off these it was easy to push and access with a buggy. There is a large outdoor play area plus an indoor one, which pleased the seven year old , lots of activities like hold a rabbit, meet an animal, tractor trailer rides, trails to look at farm animals, etc. The staff were all friendly and willing to tell the children about what a Black smith does , what a baby pig is called etc. There are baby changing facilities , plenty of hand washing areas you can buy food but also take your own picnic. There was plenty to do , no shouts of boredom, I think it was value for money as we spent the whole day there, not overly priced like many places, plus a fun learning experience. We will definately visit again.
