A historic slipway on the River Crouch, where boats can be launched and recovered from the water, offering picturesque views of the surrounding countryside and opportunities for water-based activities like fishing and sailing.
Great views across the river from here ! Feed the Swans (there are quite a lot of them) 2 pubs one each side of the slip way the Anchor and the Smugglers. Also free parking.
Nice for Saturday afternoon walk plus always lots of hungry swans!
Lovely place to sit and watch the swans. Little green area, benches and access to nearby car park and pubs.
Outstanding slipway. One end is on land and the other is in the water. So all you have to do is start at the land (dry) end and walk into the river (wet end). The slipway is on a slope because the river is lower than the land - this is so that the river doesn't end up all over the land. Sometimes the slipway is guarded by swans. In order to pass, you must answer three questions correctly or bribe them by offering either bread or a small child.
Lovely morning walk along the water with some great views. There is a coffee shop which is dog friendly about 10 minutes along the waterfront.
Free slipway but in need of some repair. Very slippery so be careful. And check online as you may need a licence for your boat, jetski or kayak.
