Woolverstone Marina Wolverstone Marina is the Home of many pleasure crafts. It is also next to the “Cat House” where it was said that years ago was the home to a man who was sympathetic to boats carrying contraband along the river. He had a pet cat which he loved. When it died he had it stuffed and when he could see that no customs boats were patrolling the river put the cat in the window for any smugglers to see, signalling that all was well.

River Orwell saltmarsh An area of saltmarsh at Freston, on the west bank of the River Orwell. The areas of saltmarsh - or 'saltings' - in the river have eroded considerably in recent decades. This may be partly due to the effect of wash from larger vessels using the port of Ipswich.

River Orwell foreshore On the Freston foreshore the saltings have eroded, leaving only remnants of slightly harder soil. These apparent 'rocks' are in fact lumps of hardened mud, which will probably disappear in time.

River Orwell transit beacon The beacon used to be much larger, and higher, and acted as a transit against Freston Tower on the hillside behind. It was used before the Orwell was dredged and straightened and enabled sailing vessels to steer the right course on the then tortuous journey upstream to Ipswich.

Eroding saltmarsh Lumps of solidified mud remain, remnants of the former extensive saltmarsh on the bank of the River Orwell. On top of the lumps, edible sea purslane (Halimione portulacoides) is growing. In the background is the Orwell Bridge.

Edge of the saltmarsh It can be seen how easily this saltmarsh on the west bank of the River Orwell is being eroded by high tides and waves. The edge is very fragile, despite being covered in places with sea purslane.
