Great Riverside setting. Good riverside walk. Swan's and other birdlife along this shoreline. Rabbits in the surrounding fields. Tea and coffee served in the carpark. Nice ice-cream!

A great yacht club, easy to get to with a large parking area. It has an outside terrace with a great view over the river. Yachts can be stored there and there is a slip down to the cause way.

It is right next to Marsh Farm and the Frankland fields conservation area.
