Woodbridge is a port town and civil parish in the East Suffolk district of Suffolk, England. It is 8 miles (13 km) up the River Deben from the sea. It lies 7 miles (11 km) north-east of Ipswich and around 74 miles (119 km) north-east of London.[2] In 2011 it had a population of 7749.

The town is close to some major archaeological sites of the Anglo-Saxon period, including the Sutton Hoo burial ship. It is well known for its boating harbour and tide mill next to the River Deben, in the Suffolk & Essex Coast & Heaths National Landscape.[3] Several festivals are held.[4] As a "gem in Suffolk's crown" (according to The Suffolk Coast tourist site)[5] it has been named the best place to live in the East of England.[6]
