Yesterday I went over to Pin Mill.

This place was made famous by Arthur Ransome as one of the settings for his series of books 'Swallows & Amazons'

It is on the River Orwell very near to Ipswich and within sight of the Orwell Bridge.

Had a lovely lunch at the Butt&Oysrter pub overlooking the river and then took a visit to see the well known Ship Graveyard there.

Unfortunately the tide was out the time we were there so I am definitely going to go back to take some more photos of the wrecks when they are partially submerged.

Here is one I took of the wrecks...

And this is the view towards the Orwell Bridge a short walk from the wrecks...
