The best moment in this walk isn't while you're walking. The best moment is the ferry across The Blythe. Grab a seat in the small rowing boat in Walberswick, pay your twenty pence and sit back as your captain takes up the oars and takes you upstream before using the current to glide the boat across and back downstream to the landing point on the other Southwold shore.

The first bridge across the river is only ten minutes or so upstream, but the ferry's by far the more enjoyable option.
