Suffolk Coast Path - Orford to Butley Ferry

Start: Junction between B1084 and Gedgrave Road, Orford. Grid ref. 423 496

(S/E) From the junction, take the Gedgrave Road West out of Orford, and keep to the lane for nearly 2 miles until the way ahead becomes a private road and a track on the right leads leads down to Ferry Cottage and Butley River.

(1) Turn left along the river bank defences and the ferry is a hundred yards down river.

(2) To continue back to Orford, take the gate onward from the ferry, which is marked as a licensed path. This follows the river bank back to the public right of way at Chantry Marshes, and then on into Orford.

The official Suffolk Coast Path heads inland to Gedgrave Road at Chantry marshes, where the licensed path joins the public footpath. (S/E)
