SHOTLEY PENINSULAR

Sitting between the rivers Orwell and Stour, this picturesque peninsular is a magnet for sailors, artists and walkers alike, and at its tip you’ll find Shotley Gate, where the two rivers meet and join the North Sea. Don’t miss: The Shipwreck Bar and Restaurant for tasty home cooked food and real ale. Learning about the renowned Royal Naval Training Establishment at the HMS Ganges Museum. Taking the Foot Ferry, from April to October, to Felixstowe Landguard Fort Beach and Harwich Pier and getting up closer to the giant ships. Saying hello to Alice the camel at Jimmy’s Farm & Wildlife Park. A well-earned lunch at The Butt and Oyster. Majestic Thames barges competing in the annual barge match at Pin Mill 3rd July 2021.
