Life on the Deben

Film: "Life on the Deben" — offered by Suffolk Wildlife Trust's Alde Valley Wildlife Group. 

The Deben packs a mighty punch in terms of tranquil beauty, ever-changing scenery and astonishing history.  Broadcaster and journalist John McCarthy and Woodbridge-based film-maker Tim Curtis embark on a journey into the Deben's rich past, looking at its geography, environment and the influence the river has had over the people who have lived by its banks.  The film traces the entire length of the Deben, from the secret and disputed upper reaches near Debenham to the boatyards and bustle of Woodbridge, down to the sea at Bawdsey and Felixstowe Ferry.
