A small historic dry dock and boatyard on the tidal River Colne with weathered wooden launches, corrugated boathouses and strong reflections. Shoot textured hulls, moored boats, tidal mudflats and industrial vernacular — dramatic at low tide and during golden/blue hour. Accessible from Wivenhoe village (short walk from station). No formal entry fee; respect private working yards. Small roadside parking and village car parks nearby. Weekdays and early mornings avoid leisure-boat traffic.
