Butley Ferry - selected weekends only.
The poor shared-use path alongside the A12 deposits cyclists right in the path of motor vehicles leaving this petrol station - www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-england-suffolk-58077620
Think of this as a placeholder... Shared-use route parallel to the railway in Gippeswyk Park, Ipswich

But it was 3pm! I cycled down Woodbridge's main shopping street without problem.
Bizarre cycle parking at the National Trust's Sutton Hoo property - it's only a couple of miles from the nearest station, why would they assume that all cyclists have lightweight road bikes?

This sandy footpath leads straight to the Sutton Hoo burial mounds.

Not a lot of cycle parking at the surprisingly large Snape Maltings complex

Start of shared-use path from Leiston to Sizewell - but there's no dropped kerb!

Restricted byway (the grassy track ahead)
'Bridleway' road to RSPB Minsmere
Cycle gap between the speed humps on the road (officially a bridleway) west from RSPB Minsmere
Track to the beach and sign to cycle parking, RSPB Minsmere
No bikes on the RSPB's Minmere reserve - there's a drivable track to the visitor centre, but you'd better wheel your bike.
To the left a footpath, to the right a parallel uncycleable bridleway - your choice.
