WHAT TO DO
To get the most out of your visit to Eastbridge, we’ve selected some of the most popular things to do whilst you’re there.
VISIT THE EEL’S FOOT PUB
Great food and folk music
The landlords serve delicious food and drink, in a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. The pub has an extremely special, long standing history of being associated with local folk music. Folk night (‘Squit night’) is every Thursday and a folk club is held on the last Sunday of the month.
WALK THE PUB WALK
Get lost in nature with a 5.5 mile walk
Starting at The Eel’s Foot, this walk takes you through the woodlands, across the heath to Dunwich Coastguard Cottages, down the coast past RSPB Minsmere to the sluice and back to Eastridge past the ruins of the lower abbey.
A SPOT OF BIRD WATCHING
Minsmere Bird Reserve
The sound of bird song fills the air in Minsmere, and you can enjoy viewing many wonderful creatures from Minsmere’s bird hides. Members of the National Trust get in free, but you can pay a day rate upon arrival. This is a short drive or good walk from the village.
