About the Tour

Enjoy an easy walk along the coast starting down on Orford Ness, then up as far as the Moot Hall. Find out about the different ways that the people along this coast have made their living from the sea. On the way, we will hear about Elephants having a paddle, see a dangerous windmill, hear about a private literary festival, meet the Uptowners & Downtowners, hear about the dangers that lurk on this tiny bit of the East Coast and meet a dog that was so loved that they made him twice... What more could you want in a short walk?

Suffolk Guide

5 tours

No matter if you are in Suffolk for the day or you are in Suffolk everyday, you will see more with a Suffolk Guide. The name Suffolk Guide reflects my wide interest and knowledge of Suffolk, not just a town here or a town there but the county of Suffolk.
I have lived and worked in Suffolk all my life. I love local history but I also love any stories and facts about Suffolk villages in any period of time. The perfect venue for all these stories is a guided tour in front of where the story takes place.
I first began by sharing my enthusiasm for Suffolk with school children. I worked in a number of locations in the county, so I built up a mental filing cabinet of stories for all of these locations.
On my tours, you get a lifetime of stories handed down about the sites that we pass and also stories found in research.. Some of these stories were from centuries ago and some of these stories were from decades ago. I won’t bother you with a story about something that’s not there. My ITG training stressed the need to talk about something that you could focus on.
I always leave you with ideas for other landmarks to explore and activities that you could do after the tour.

How VoiceMap Works

Focus on your surroundings, not the screen
The VoiceMap app uses GPS to play audio automatically, at the right time and place, so you can focus on your surroundings, not the screen.
Follow a route with turn-by-turn-directions
VoiceMap tours follow a route from a fixed starting point. That lets us give turn-by-turn directions and use context to tell a better story.
Resume playback to go at your own pace
If you'd like to stop for a drink or go into a museum, end your tour then use the Resume feature to pick up exactly where you left off.
Listen as many times as you like
You can listen to your tours as often as you like using both the VoiceMap app and website.
Take virtual tours anywhere, like a podcast
Select Virtual mode in the VoiceMap app to listen to tours like a podcast - at home or in transit.
Buy for less on voicemap.me and sync
Once you've purchased a tour, it's added to your VoiceMap library. To access it in the app, just sign in using the same account.

Best time of day

You will find different people who like walking this route at different times of day. Some like to see the sun rising over the sea, while others like to see the sun setting over water. Some like to walk here when the storms are making the waves crash on the shingle, while others like to stroll this route with an ice cream on a hot day.

Precautions

The first part of the route is along a gravel track so wear footwear that would be appropriate for that and adjust your selection of clothing to suit the weather forecast.
