Redcliffe Yacht Club

Many many moons ago, Wareham was a port and lots of goods were delivered and sent along the river to Poole and beyond.
Now only sailing boats and the odd cruiser can make it up to the Quay, as well as pleasure boats carrying tourists.
The Redcliffe Yacht Club is very close to one of my favourite spots. You can walk along the towpath, or drive to Redcliff and then to the Yacht Club, but in winter a four by would be needed, as the mud is deep.
It is probably just about the tiniest Yacht Club in the world, not much more than a lrge shed, although prettier. Boats are moored along the river, in the reeds. The reeds are also home to lots of birds and riverlife which is one of the great reasons to take a trip to Wareham by boat, or to sit with binoculars or telephoto lens’.
Beyond the bridge at Wareham Quay, one can hire rowing boats which is great fun I have to say, and many of the homes that back on to the river here have canoes.
