Felixstowe Ferry
You anchor off at the mouth of the River Deben, a spot rich with character — this tiny hamlet has been connecting travellers to Bawdsey by ferry since 1912, and it still has that unhurried, end-of-the-road feel. The backdrop is classic Suffolk: wide skies, a spit of shingle, and a scattering of fishing boats that make this one of the most atmospheric anchorages on the east coast.
