Starting at Orford Quay, we head South passing the Castle to our right and later to our left, the fascinating pagodas. The river splits in two as we circumnavigate Havergate Island and pass a RSPB Bird Reserve, internationally famous for its rare breeds and migrant birds.

Our return takes us back down the other side of the Island and along the longest vegetated shingle spit in Europe until we reach Orford.
