Shotley Pier was built in 1894 to enable the Royal Mail to travel between Shotley Gate and Harwich. As well as mail, coal, munitions and sailors also travelled on its rails – the pier is the only railway pier in Suffolk.
At the beginning of the 21st century, it fell into a state of disrepair. A fundraising campaign in 2018 enabled supporters to purchase the pier and begin renovations. The works are still ongoing today.

Looking out across the end of the River Stour, past Shotley pier to Harwich International Port on the other side of the river.

A short downhill section before a left turn into the Marina towards the Ferry. A great relief after the undulating plateau on the Peninsula.
