Another striking feature of the Suffolk coast is its estuaries, which are internationally recognised for their wildlife. All are remarkable, but the two most southerly – the Stour and Orwell – are wetlands of particularly contrasting character. Here, a dramatic tension exists between their beautiful scenery and spectacular wildlife and, in contrast, large-scale human usage – most starkly expressed in the mighty cranes and giant container ships that populate the Port of Felixstowe, one of the largest and busiest ports in Europe.

With miles of footpaths to explore in the AONB, this guidebook opens up to walkers the beauty and history of this unique area. Don’t forget to take a moment to enjoy the area’s hospitality but, most importantly, enjoy your walks!
