On July 23, 2027, we were able to pass through here without any problems. The road is blocked on Google Street View. Creating a route through here via Komoot isn't possible either. But no problem, the crossing is still open.

Part of the old Southwold to Halesworth train line. If you follow the line towards Walbeswick you can still see remains of the station platform as the footpath leaves the line of the track.

Southwold to Walberswick Footbridge (Bailey Bridge)

Highlight • Bridge

You can cross the river Blyth from Southwold to Walberswick over the footbridge. Nice place to watch the sun go down over the marshes.

Southwold Harbour

Highlight • River

Blackshore can get really busy in the summer so be prepared to hike a bike for safety's sake. Also its known to flood especially on spring tides so be aware. Bikes aren't salt water friendly.
