The best of the estuary, on foot or a short drive.

Four flat miles along the top of the sea wall to the Ship Inn and back by the lane.

A small pub on the quay with benches over the mud, local beer and food until nine.

A wooden hide over the lagoon. Avocets in spring, geese and waders all winter.

A long, empty shingle beach where the estuary meets the sea. Swim at high water only.

An hour by boat out to the sandbanks, where a colony of grey seals hauls out.

Bread, smoked fish, vegetables and flowers in the square of the market town.
