Walberswick to Southwold Ferry Boat
As you can see it is a very short journey across the River Blyth to the Southwold side of the river. It takes anything between 1-5 minutes to get across depending on the tide and wind direction.
This service has been going for many many years and saves a walk of around a mile or two by foot across an old Bailey Bridge or a car journey of around 8 miles.
While I watched the oarsman was never short of customers many with bikes.. He made it look simple when he was controlling the boat and I suppose it was when you have all that knowledge and experience of the boat and the river tides.
