Boyton Dock Ruins

Highlight • Structure

This peaceful area was the height of activity at two points in history. During the 1600s, there was a clay boom here that saw this dock used in the transportation of hundreds of tons of clay to London each year. In the 1800s, the dock sprang to life again with a short-lived fertiliser boom. Both booms ended when their respective materials simply ran out.

Now, the remains of the 19th-century dock building lingers as a relic to the area's frantic industrial past.

Boyton Marshes Nature Reserve

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

Boyton Marshes is an RSPB Nature Reserve and is made up of a series of wetlands and grasslands. It's home to a vast number of bird species that change with the seasons. Redshank, lapwing, avocet and widgeon all hang out here at various times of the year.

If you've got binoculars, bring them along.

St Andrew the Fisherman Sculpture, Capel St Andrew

Highlight • Structure

Created for the Millennium, a superb steel sculpture in the parish on the road to Butley. It shows St Andrew the fisherman, with a catch of herrings and eels. At his feet is the church, which is now the only church in the parish of Capel St Andrew. It bears the date 1539, when Butley Priory was dissolved.
