Yes, indeed, the Deben looking upriver towards Wilford Bridge with the Tidemill on the left.
Taken in November last year while on a walk to Methersgate. Left the car at the NT car park and started from Sutton Hoo.
The viewpoint is from Ferry Cliff, which I had no idea was so relatively high until that day. It is between the 10 and 20m contours on the map.
Raedwald and his crew must have had a tough job on their hands getting their double-ender uphill from the riverside to the burial site, which is around the 30m contour.
BTW, the boat with the tan sails in the photo is, I believe, the Hillyard double-ender Lottie Blossom, once owned by Arthur Ransome.
Here is another pic taken on that day at Methersgate Quay (it was very windy).
