miles - 3 hour stroll
Chapel Ruins
This ancient stone ruin is all that remains of
what was originally believed to be an Abbey founded by Lord Chief
Justice Ranulph de Glanville in 1182. Its’ isolated and remote
island location resulted in the Abbey being moved to Leiston in
the 14th century by Robert Earl of Suffolk. The only structure
remaining is thought to have been a small chapel connected with
the abbey. Today it holds a World War II pillbox within its crumbling
walls.
Sizewell
Belts
Sizewell Belts was an unmanaged reed marsh until it was drained
in the 18th Century. It is now a complex system of freshwater
grazing marshes interspersed with dykes and narrow tree belts
and rich in wildlife. Information boards along the waymarked route
describe the flora and fauna to be seen through the seasons.
