On The Alde
On The Alde
A boat (possibly steam) chugging up the River Alde at Snape in Suffolk. It's here that the river becomes tidal as it flows on past Aldeborough from which it takes its name - to meet the North Sea near Orford and for its last few miles becomes the River Ore. This is an important ecological area - a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) as well as being an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. In 1588, 4 ships were launched from here to fight the Spanish Armada. Now we find sailing clubs!
