I'm sure many of you will be planning to visit Minsmere next week, possibly more than once in some cases. Therefore, I thought that we should warn you that might experience some delays or diversions due to various roadworks that are anticipated next week.

According to local signage and the Suffolk County Council website, we expect the following roads to be closed for at least some, if not all, of next week:

  • B1125 from Westleton to Blythburgh. Expected delays and possible closure all week. Diversion, if needed, likely to be via A12 from Blythburgh to Yoxford, then B1122 and B1125 to Westleton
  • B1125 Blythburgh Road in Westleton, at junction with Dunwich Road, Westleton. Fully closed on Thursday and Friday. Likely diversion as above, but probably still access to Dunwich Road for northbound traffic. If not, used Bakers Lane instead.
  • Eastbridge to Leiston Road. Expected to be closed all week. Access to Minsmere from Leiston via B1122 through Theberton then B1125 to Westleton

There may be other roadworks on local roads around Yoxford too.

Please be patient, and follow diversions where signed, rather than using narrow local roads as many of these are not suitable for high volumes of traffic.

As and when we find out more about exactly what is happening we will try to keep you updated. In the meantime, allow up to 15 minutes longer than usual to reach Minsmere next week, and please don't let it put you off visiting us.
