May 21, 2025, View of the River Stour Estuary

Silent spot at the waterfront to overlook the bay. My photos are not exactly from this place, but close to it.

I picked up a 12" mid-ride but really struggled to fit it in a jersey pocket along with the bottle of wine.

The Flatford Granary stored grain until the 19th century when flour milling became profitable. Owned by Golding Constable, it passed to his son Abram and was eventually sold to William Bentall in 1846.

Nice little town with a scenic location at the top of the Stour estuary and a pretty, historic high street with several cafes as well as a Tesco convenience store.

The lowest crossing on the River Stour, next to the tidal sluices separating the river from the estuary, and also the border between Essex and Suffolk. Originally the site of a timber bridge which was bleached white by the salt.

Nice flat, peaceful riverside route between Manningtree and Mistley Towers (the only remaining parts of a demolished church).

Multiple cafes all face each other across this little crossroads in the middle of the high street, so take your pick! Cafe Rio has nice outdoor seating right on the corner but watch out if you go indoors as their laminate flooring is like ice with road cleats!
