Middle Swinging Ground
The Middle Swinging Ground is an anchorage spot in UK waters where you drop the hook and let the tide do its thing — your boat will swing freely with the current, so make sure you've got plenty of scope out. It's a classic open roadstead experience, best suited when conditions are settled, with the swinging room here giving you space to ride out tidal shifts without crowding neighbours.
