This walk goes right around the RSPB Minsmere but doesn't go into it at all - but you could if you want!

From the Coastguard cottages this walk follows easy path across the heath and down into woodland before crossing open land (it's not uncommon to see herds of deer around here) and down into Eastbridge.
From here the path follows an easy path back to the coast by the Minsmere sluice before following the coast back to the Coastguard cottages.
The walk up the beach at the end can be a bit of a trudge through the shingle.
We always go clockwise for two reasons
- you walk away from Sizewell up the beach so you don't have to look at it!
- you have the prevailing southerly wind behind you up the beach. With a cold north wind go anti clockwise!
