Description:
The River Orwell flows through the county of Suffolk in England. It broadens into an estuary at Ipswich and then flows into the North Sea at Felixstowe after joining with the River Stour at Shotley.
Harwich is positioned on the estuaries of the Stour and Orwell rivers.
Harwich/River Orwell and the surrounding port (including Felixstowe) is a very active area for shipping and for large, high-speed ferries. It is very important that yachts follow the yacht track and stay well clear of the main channel. Also, though Harwich has a customs port, other marinas on the River Orwell (particularly Ipswich) have clearance facilities and it may be advisable to use them rather than bother with the busy-ness and traffic of the Harwich port.
