COBBOLDS POINT

Cobbolds Point is a scenic and historically rich headland located in Felixstowe, Suffolk, where the North Sea meets the River Orwell. It’s known for its Victorian and Edwardian seaside heritage, offering a peaceful promenade walk with views of the sea, colourful beach huts, and striking sea defences made of granite boulders arranged in artistic formations.

Historically, the area was once home to a fisherman’s hut that evolved into a property known as The Lodge. In 1844, it was rented by John Chevallier Cobbold, a member of the prominent Cobbold brewing family, and later purchased by him. The point took on the Cobbold name around the time of his death in 1882. Due to coastal erosion, the property was at risk until Felix Thornley Cobbold funded the construction of groynes—sea defences that lasted over a century.
