River Deben The recognised source is to the west of Debenham, though a second, higher source runs south from the parish of Bedingfield. The river, which is just over 33 miles long, passes through Woodbridge, where it becomes a tidal estuary before emptying into the North Sea between Felixstowe and Bawdsey at Harwich Haven.
