Felixstowe Walk

Following the last weekend, we went to the seaside town, Felixstowe, Suffolk for a walk. The train was delay about an hour due to over-running engineering works... Great... The British train operating company has changed it's name from 'Greater Anglia' into 'Abellio Greater Anglia' some time ago. Now the most of trains have a logo 'Abellio'. I just thought that if they spent their money on a logo, they should have improved their service...


Anyway, we started walking from Felixstowe Station and walked through the Grove. It was a nice weather for walk. As the same as the last time, we printed out a map and description from Suffolk Rail Way Walks indication. It was easier course than before, we completed 5 miles course.

The view was beautiful.


We followed this unmetalled track.


And we found a hole. It must be for a fox??


It was a stunning view! This area is called Old Felixstowe. According to the instruction, this area along the river Deben, used to be marshes and drained farmland.


 
We saw Marello Towers on the coast. They are small defencive forts that were built to protect the country from invasion. (It's in the middle of the picture.)
 

We descend to the seaside.


There were colourful beach huts.



At very low tides, you can sometimes see the remains of a former Roman fort. Now it's under the sea. We guessed it was there, the area with the stable foaming waves. We were not sure though...


We encountered scouts groups gathering or something:)

 
We walked up the hill, and passed through the main shopping street.


There were some remarkable buildings.


We returned to the start of the walk at the station. Between Ipswich and Felixstowe, we got a short train of one carriage.
