The gap in the hedgerow on the corner by the junction gives a great view eastward towards the entrance to the Deben estuary.

Fun, flowy singletrack through the forest. The Viking Trail is a fantastic 10-mile (16km) red graded route.

Fronts directly on to the pavement with just a couple of tables and nowhere really to leave a bike. Maybe ok if there's a couple of you, so one can look after the bikes while the other goes in, but solo riders or larger groups would be better somewhere else.
