Ipswich, tucked up the River Orwell, away from the bustle of Harwich, is an interesting and historic port of call. It is still a working port and an eye must be kept out for the quite large ships which still use the quay opposite the yachthaven.
There are five marinas to choose from as well as several anchorages and buoys on the way up the river. But, beware, most of them dry and East Coast mud is notoriously sticky! The river is also home to the well-known Butt and Oyster pub at Pin Mill as well as several traditional sailing barges.
All marinas except the Neptune Marina have 24 hr access.
