What to see in Felixstowe

Felixstowe is long past its heyday as a tourist resort, and is best visited now as a place to enjoy some seaside calm. Felixstowe Ferry is perhaps the most charming part of the town. It's in the far north, beyond the golf club, at the mouth of the River Deben. It's a popular place for sailing and walks. It has good real ale pub (see below). It is best to park at the cliff top vehicle park as there is little parking at Felixstowe ferry. The promenade stretches 1 mile north and south of the pier two limes in total, and expect for a small length there is a good path (it is part of the Suffolk Coast long distance path) between Landguard Fort and Felixstowe Ferry. North is generally quite pleasant, with landscaped gardens and quiet shingle beaches. In the centre of the tourist area, by the sea and there are some excellent arcades, including the famous Mannings Amusement Park (including crazy golf). There is a Sunday market beside Mannings, and a vehicle boot sale on Saturday Further south the beach gives way to a very industrialised dock area. In the middle of thit is a little wildlife haven, around Landguard Fort. It's popular with bird watchers. The sea shore is the site of the last opposed invasion of England in 1667 and the first land battle of the Royal Marines. The fort was built in the 18th century, modified in the 19th century with substantial additional 19th- and 20th-century outside batteries. The fort is open every day from Easter to October. The nearby submarine mining building houses Felixstowe museum’s collections of local interest and is open Sundays & Wednesdays in summer. Martello Tower - - 469356 - Martello Tower
