Mulberry harbour guided walk

The Mulberry Harbour guided walk. Please read description. 

This 3 mile walk will take approx 2 hours. (allow a little longer just in case). 
The Mulberry harbour situated on an offshore sand bank in the Thames estuary is actually one section of floating Mulberry harbour which was to be used during the D day landings in June 1944. Unfortunately this section, whilst being towed down the North Sea from the river Humber on its way to Normandy, sprang a leak and was grounded on the sandbank in the Thames estuary where it still sits today. 

This guided walk will give you a good view of the structure and nearby shipping lanes. At approx 3 miles, this walk takes about 2 hours, giving us a chance to look for creatures and photographers plenty of time to capture some great images. On a nice day you may wish to have a swim. 
Quite a few people each year put themselves in severe danger walking out to the Mulberry harbour at the wrong time, because the tide often comes in quickly and not from the direction you would expect. It is always best to go with an experienced local guide.  

Important - whatever you wear on your feet will get wet. We recommend that you wear shorts and old trainers or aqua shoes, as we will possibly have to wade through water knee deep.  Dress sensibly for the weather. There is no shelter from the wind or the sun once you are away from the shore. Bring a windproof jacket and consider wearing sunscreen and a sun hat.
