Pin Mill is a very picturesque spot. It is a small riverside hamlet at the half a mile from Chelmondiston. There are a few houses, two boatyards, an art gallery, and the ever-changing river with birds constantly on the move, yachts and majestic Thames barges.

The 17th century Butt and Oyster Inn is a thriving pub/restaurant. Arthur Ransome lived close by and used the river as his setting for the Swallows & Amazons book 'We didn't mean to go to sea'. Pin Mill also featured in the BBC 'Lovejoy' series.
