Woodbridge Museum sits in the historic Whisstocks area of the waterfront and tells the story of the town from Saxon times to the present day. You can see historic artefacts and displays, including a soldier mannequin's uniform linked to the Battle of Waterloo and Sutton Hoo artefacts unearthed during the 1939 excavations, with Sutton Hoo itself visible across the River Deben. There's a family area to explore together and a small souvenir shop. The museum is staffed entirely by volunteers and relies on donations. It's open 10:30am–4:30pm daily from April to October, with free admission. Woodbridge station is just 0.1 miles away, and with 26 bookable places to stay within 5 miles, it's an easy stop if you're visiting the area.
