Great pub grub, there's a definite argument for it making the best fish and chips in the area

On the patronage of this church: Saint ANDREW is one of the twelve apostles whom Jesus Christ called to follow him. However, in the biblical accounts he is usually somewhat overshadowed by his much more famous brother: Saint Peter. In the Gospels we find the calling of the two siblings presented in different ways. According to the text version of the Gospel of John (John 1:40-42), Andrew is called first (together with another disciple whose name is not mentioned). Later he tells his brother that he has found the Messiah. The feast of Saint Andrew in the calendar of saints is on November 30th in all major Christian denominations. The X-shaped white "St. Andrew's Cross" on which he was executed forms the national flag of Scotland against a blue background and has also found its way into the national flag of the United Kingdom of Great Britain.

The lowest road crossing on the Blyth and the views over the marshes are scenic, but it's not a peaceful route as the traffic and lorries thunder past you at 60mph on the A12!

The front looks towards the harbour and moored cruisers but with a car park in-between. The best views are from the garden to the rear, which looks across the marshes towards Southwold rising beyond.

Quite reminiscent of St Andrew's Church at Covehithe (komoot.com/highlight/4811604). Also still in use despite being partially ruinous.

Beautiful views of the Blyth marshes. The gravel path is compacted and level with no pot holes, and only runs for a few hundred metres, so fine on road tyres.
