We’re floating in the river alongside Melton Boatyard on this stretch of the King’s Path. Licensed bar, tasty treats, barista coffee. All of the aft deck of a retired warship. See you soon 😀www.debencafe.co.uk

The walk from Melton Riverside car park along the King Charles III England Coast Path - either walk to Woodbridge and enjoy the town and shops ☕🍰 or head further towards Kyson Hill and Martlesham Creek. Or venture on the other side of the river toward Sutton Hoo and beyond. Perfect if you want a short out and back, or a longer hike.
