Panorama of stilt houses at Wrabness Point The mud and sand in the foreground stretch for miles along the Stour estuary, which is more of an inlet of the sea than a river outlet since the river itself is dammed at Cattawade <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/229062">TM0932 : White Bridge</a>, downstream from Flatford <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/450781">TM0733 : Flatford - Lock and "Automatic Gate"</a>'  As a result,  the seaward flow is small as a proportion of the water is extracted at Cattawade for domestic use as drinking water.  Only here, though, is there a stilt village - a rare phenomenon in Britain where planning laws severely restrict such developments.
