The 'East Suffolk Line', the railway linking Ipswich and Lowestoft, traverses some of the most delightful of Suffolk's unspoilt countryside. The line was proposed for closure in the 1960s but was saved following a local campaign and today it continues to serve as an essential lifeline for rural communities. In addition, visitors to the area can enjoy the passing scenery in a relaxed way without the bother of finding suitable parking places or having to worry about car safety.

In addition to the walks between the stations on the East Suffolk Line, there are also several interesting walks beginning and ending at Trimley and Felixistowe stations.
