Some of the best river views in Suffolk
are on the River Orwell - which gave the writer George Orwell his
name. From the picnic site, you can sit and watch ships navigating
the narrow channel up river to Ipswich.
The Orwell's mudflats are an extremely valuable food source for
a wide variety of wintering birds. Between December and March, the
bird watching is terrific.
Please be aware that there is a 2.2m height barrier at this
site.
