General Info
COVID-19: OPEN PORT
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.
Position:
51° 55.83’N, 01° 18.57’E (entrance)
Docking
Very soft mud so keep close to the pontoon.
Walton and Frinton Yacht Trust’s Yacht Basin in Mill Lane, Walton on the Naze has had a makeover with the installation of new pontoons, complementing the neighbouring Walton & Frinton YC’s new clubhouse, which provides modern toilets and showers as well as a bar and catering facilities during most of the week.
