There are 15 images in the slide show, taken a few days ago showing the location and setting of the Butley River ferry. This ferry has been operating at this site since 1383 – and before that from a point a little downstream. Today it is run by volunteers from the Alde and Ore Association.
The season starts today Saturday 4 April and runs on weekends and Bank Holidays until 11 October. Midweek crossings can be arranged providing a volunteer is available. Have a look at a map to see the difference this short crossing makes to the route by foot of cycle along the Suffolk Coast.
