Guided Walk Saturday 30 December
The East Suffolk Lines Community Rail Partnership will host a festive guided walk on Saturday 30 December.
Woodbridge – Melton – Wickham Market

The route then heads north through the valley to Ufford for a drink/lunch in The White Lion pub, or picnic nearby at the church with its impressive 15th-century font cover. The walk traverses farmland footpaths and quiet roads en route to Wickham Market station and the new cafe in the village of Campsea Ashe.
Free – No Need To Book – Dog Friendly
The walk is free; there’s no need to book and your dog is welcome (and dogs ride free on the train!); just show up on the day. It starts at 10:35am at Woodbridge station upon arrival of 9:07 train from Lowestoft, the 9:28 train from Felixstowe via Ipswich, and the 10:17 train from Ipswich.
