Folly

You anchor off here in what's essentially a quirky slice of English eccentricity — Folly is a small anchorage on the River Medina in the Isle of Wight, sitting between Cowes and Newport. It's a well-known stop on the Solent circuit, with the Folly Inn right on the riverbank serving food and drinks, and a genuine laid-back, unpretentious atmosphere that draws a loyal crowd.
