From Landguard Point to Felixstowe Pier

So here's the first of my walks for May.On the Sunday of the Bank Holiday weekend, I took a trip to Felixstowe and parked at Landguard Point. The visitor centre there has an excellent cafe that we've sometimes visited for brunch.

 
Your get an excellent view of the docks and, across the water, of Harwich from here.
My walk took me to the point itself...

From here I walked through the Nature Reserve...

..which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). There were plenty of birds about, including some nesting Ringed Plovers and interesting plantlife including some fresh sea kale. From here, I carried on along the beach and promenade to Felixstowe pier, where I discovered a vintage vehicle rally was passing through.

There were lots of lovely old vehicles of all sorts and and amzing collection of motorbikes and scooters, the chrome all gleaming in the sun.

By now I was starting to feel I was in danger of getting sunburnt so had to pop into Lidl to get some suntan lotion before returning through Langer Park, back along the sea front and through the Nature Reserve again.

A lovely morning walk in the sun and I was home just in time for lunch.

Here is a map of my route...
