Walberswick Winter Walk

Here's another favourite spot for a Winter walk. On the Suffolk Coast, just across the river Blyth from Southwold is the village of Walberswick. Just by the car park at the beach you get this view of its near neighbour.

The two are separated by the River Blyth, which may be crossed either by the foot ferry that runs during the summer months or by a bailey bridge about 1/2 mile upstream.

It was a typical cold and windy winters day when we went, but there was some sun.

Sizewell is just a few miles along the beach, here lit by a break in the clouds.

I rather like the sign next to the emergency telephone on the beach, a strange relic from last century. I wonder if it still works?

The walk along the river is refreshing and the surrounding marshland is a National Nature Reserve. I was tempted to cross the bridge to the Harbour Inn, but it looked a bit busy.



But the fresh air blew some of the new year cobwebs out of the brain.
