About the area Bawdsey village stands near the mouth of the River Deben about 9 miles South East of Woodbridge. It is a relatively quiet and picturesque place to simply get away from the hustle and bustle of modern day living. Visitors are attracted to the area because of its location to the waters edge and wonderful views across the estuary towards Felixstowe. This part of the Heritage Coast was defended by Martello Towers and the Bawdsey Haven in the mouth of the Deben acts as a natural shelter to small craft.The village comprises approximately 500 homes, a friendly junior school and a small church with a reduced 60ft tower, originally of early Saxon edifice. There is a small village shop and a Public House about one mile away in the neighbouring village of Alderton and the popular Ramsholt Arms Public House, well known for fine dining and local fish produce, a little further along the Deben. The surrounding countryside is renowned for its network of cycle paths and walkways amongst the pine forests and heathland of the Bawdsey peninsular.
