Brancaster Staithe Harbour, again on the North Norfolk Coast.

Once a busy port, sailing ships carried cargo of coal and grain, for a malt house said to be the biggest in England. Trade declined in the 1800s, but a thriving fishing industry survives, and today the harbour bustles with pleasure craft.

Ely Cathedral, which can be seen from many miles away, is a huge medieval cathedral in the centre of Ely, a town in Cambridgeshire, England. The cathedral has been named one of the Seven Medieval Wonders of the World. The cathedral’s story begins in 673 A.D. when a woman called Saint Etheldreda founded a monastery where the cathedral is today. This monastery was destroyed in the 9th century and a new one was built in 970. It officially became a cathedral in 1109 and over the years it has been added to, changed and restored

Pin Mill, Suffolk

Pin Mill is a hamlet on the south bank of the tidal River Orwell, located on the outskirts of Chelmondiston Village, on the Shotley peninsula, south Suffolk. It lies within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is a designated a Conservation Area.

It’s a very small place with lots of boats which have seen better days, there is a great pub, The Butt & Oyster where we had a superb lunch.

I went in March 2020 with a photographer friend and we spent all day there, but probably didn’t walk more than a mile at the very most
