A walk from Landguard Fort to Felixstowe Ferry exploring the Military History of Felixstowe.

Join local historian Michael Sharman for a fascinating military history walk from Landguard Fort to Felixstowe Ferry.

This three-hour guided walk will explore Felixstowe’s long and important defensive story, from the strategic position of Landguard Point at the entrance to Harwich Harbour through to the wider coastal landscape stretching towards Felixstowe Ferry. Along the route, Michael will highlight key places, events and features connected with the area’s military past, including coastal defence, invasion threats, wartime activity and the changing role of this part of the Suffolk coast.

The walk will take approximately three hours and will include some sections over rough or uneven ground. Please wear sturdy footwear and dress appropriately for the weather.

This is a free event as part of Heritage Open Days.
