Suffolk, England

This village once housed three hundred people but today its population is about one tenth of that total. Ramsholts demise occurred when the digging and exporting of coprolite [fossilised dung] ceased. Parts of the wooden quay still exists. In medieval days a Ferry operated across the River Deben from here.

The pub 'The Ramsholt Arms' gets very busy in the summer months, there is a grassed area public car park 100 yards from the pub. The Church of All Saints is somewhat isolated down a narrow track but this has commanding views of the River Deben. The tower is round and was probably originally a lookout tower during Norman times.

A good selection of wading birds can be seen on a falling tide from October to March, there is a circular walk but this walk along the river bank [past the pub] is somewhat uneven and it is not always possible to walk on the foreshore. I have walked to Shottisham Creek from here, this area is very peaceful on a late summer/early autumn weekday, and is quite unspoilt
