St Andrew's Church and Ruins, Walberswick

Highlight • Religious Site

St Andrew's is the fourth church to have been built in Walberswick. It is tucked into the south-west corner of the ruins of the third church. Personally I think the church and ruins are best viewed first thing in the morning as the sun rises from the east

Walberswick Station (Disused)

Highlight • Monument

The platform is all that remains of the original Walberswick station which is marked here with a bench and commemorative plaque. The Southwold to Halesworth line was closed in 1929 after the larger Eastern line was never connected to the narrow gauge line as originally proposed. In the winter months when the bracken dies back you can see the drop to where the rails would have originally been which you can then trace to the now bridleway which goes on to the Walberswick Road in one direction and back over the Bailey Bridge to Southwold in the other

River Blyth Footbridge and Harbour View

Highlight • River

Part of the old Southwold to Halesworth train line. If you follow the line towards Walbeswick you can still see remains of the station platform as the footpath leaves the line of the track.
