River View overlooks the estuary as it winds its way from the Suffolk coast, past historic Iken Church and on up to Snape Bridge and the Maltings.
Bird life is in abundance including avocet and a multitude of other waders and even osprey, while common seals can be seen on the mudbanks when the tide falls, or swimming in the river channel.
More bird watching can be found at the RSPB's reserve at Minsmere, which is half an hour's drive away and close by is Orford and Framlingham with their respective ancient castles. The seaside town of Aldeburgh is 15 minutes away, while Thorpeness, Woodbridge and Southwold are within easy reach, not forgetting the pretty villages of Walberswick and Dunwich. In an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, River View really does offer a unique location for a stay in a wonderful part of the country.

Using the postcode for Sat Nav, when you are close, with the crossroads behind you, keep going straight along the road which has passing places if you meet another car. DO NOT turn down the first left hand turn (with a brown and white picnic site tourist sign). After about another 300 metres along a straight bit of road, you will see a sharp left-hand turn down a sandy track. There is a footpath sign which marks it. Drive slowly down there for about 70 metres, go past the entrance on the right to 'River Cottage' and then turn into the next entrance immediately on the right marked 'The River House'. You will find a gate at the entrance which you will have to open. Please close it again once your vehicle is inside. Park in front of the 'River View' sign.
Follow the arrowed sign to River View on foot. This is via a lawn (slightly uneven in places) and so suitable footwear may be required if it's wet underfoot. If you are arriving after dark, solar lamps will light the 25-metre route but it might be handy to bring your own torch. The key will be next to a flower pot on the front door steps. If you need any more information, please don't hesitate to call on 07979517186 or 07747761197.
