Chantry Point

Chantry Point is an anchorage spot off the Suffolk coast near Orford Ness, that long, wild shingle spit that stretches dramatically southward. It's a genuinely remote, windswept corner of England, with the eerie former military installations of Orford Ness visible across the water and the quiet village of Orford just inland. You'll anchor off here and soak in one of the most atmospheric stretches of the East Anglian coastline.
