Access By Water
Entrance to the lovely River Deben is over a well-marked bar,
which is best undertaken on a rising tide, at least an hour
and a half after low water depending on your boat's draft.
Remember that the Deben bar changes frequently
See
Deben, Ore and Orwell page on this site
for up to
date information. The passage above Troublesome
Reach is not possible at low water in anything other than a dinghy.
Two bustling riverside pubs at Ramsholt and Waldringfield will be
passed en-route. An enjoyable stopover can be had at either one.
Access By Road
Heading north on A12 from the Ipswich direction, turn right
(seems like straight on) at the first roundabout signed
'Woodbridge - local traffic'. Continue on this road
for approximately 1.2 miles, past the Notcutts garden centre.
At the first set of pedestrian lights, turn right into Kingston
Road and then fork left into The Avenue; on your left is a
car park. The clubhouse will be found by walking over
the level crossing, turning left when you reach the river,
from which point it can be seen approximately 100 paces up
river.
