Nice area to relax and enjoy the scenery. There is a small car park that is free. There are three benches to sit and relax whilst enjoying the view of the river.
Great 24hr free mooring spot, electric hook up, good mobile signal and country walks nearby.
Had a lovely scenic walk around the area and saw the fascinating old church.
Behind the Church is a Car Park with a couple of benches at side of the water. If you want to relax for a while then this is the place to be. Found this by accident some years ago and always return when in the area
Beautiful little mooring next to the church. Would recommend getting moored early as room is limited. But there's a lovely 25-30 minute walk to the local pub. Look out for the beautifully painted plant pots available near the mooring, and the fudge lady on the way to the pub! No amenities without a good 20 minute walk, where you will find a car park and public toilet. Either follow the handy sign map near the mooring, or use Google maps to show you the way.
Idyllic village location with 2 to 3 moorings with 1 electric post. Church is pretty and has parking. The Boardwalk is a short walk away. No shops or pub, but both can be found nearby in Neatishead.
Fished at spot by Irstead Church. Lovely area and great fishing. Weather wasn't good but had a bite a cast 10 feet from bank. Well recommend a visit .Lovely lady my church sells home made fudge. And by car park another sells self painted decorative pots. Now my favourite area.
