This Netflix film, with Ralph Fiennes and Cary Mulligan, is well worth watching if only for its lovely Suffolk scenery.
Concerning the discovery in 1939, by amateur excavator Basil Brown, of the Anglo Saxon longship and treasure at Sutton Hoo, it contains riverside scenes shot on several different locations. The somewhat gratuitous sub-plot love scenes were done at what looks a lot like the old dock at Boyton, Basil comes to work with his bike via what is probably the Butler river ferry, there are several shots of the Deben and Ramsholt church...
Plus a delightful moment as Basil Brown sits on the sea wall puffing away at his pipe and watches the little tiller-steered barge Signet sail by on her way down the Alde from Snape towards Iken.
