The Woodbridge and Felixstowe district comprises a low-lying coastal part of Suffolk bordering the North Sea. The highest ground lies in the north-west at around 30 m above OD and is underlain by loamy soils; farther south and east, extensive heathlands are developed on broad plateaux underlain by predominantly sandy soils. Most of the area is rural, given over to arable farming and forestry. The principal towns are the market town of Woodbridge and the seaside resort and the port of Felixstowe. The coastline includes the gravel spits of Orford Ness and Landguard Point, and is backed by extensive drained salt-marshes and mudflats.
