“For me, Woodbridge is the most beautiful place in Suffolk,” says Mike
Warren of Fine and Country. “You’ve got the river, you’re near the
heritage coast, and there’s a number of amenities throughout.”

With an estimated population of 8,000 residents, this east Suffolk town
is just seven miles north-east of Ipswich, and has good transportation
links thanks to its train station which runs regular services between
Lowestoft and Ipswich. It is also adjacent to the A12.

Within the town itself, residents can enjoy a number of shops, eateries
and also the local cinema, The Riverside. “Woodbridge has a lot of
boutique shops, pubs and cafes – Honey & Harvey is a good one, and
you’ve also got Wild Strawberry Café on Market Hill. I’d say one of my

favourite pubs is The Mariners – it’s got a great beer garden, and one
of my favourite places to go for a drink in the evening is The Crown.”
