Saltfleet is a coastal village in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire. It's approximately 8 miles north of Mablethorpe and 11 miles to the east of Louth.
The Haven comes in from the North Sea and in the past there was a thriving shell fishing industry here. The Saltfleet Haven Boat Club has some mooring along the bankside.
Popcorn & I visited here on a lovely morning in May 2024, the tide was out so the water quite low.

| Mooring jetties all along this bank. At high tide they enable access to the craft. |
 |
| Lobster pots, there's still a trade for shellfish from here. |

| Looking inland gives a nice view of a Lincolnshire "big sky"! |

I’m puzzled that I haven’t seen this post, David, but I really like these photos of these tidal moorings. Mudflats and tidal reaches have always appealed to me since I was a child. I also like the nets and fishing tackle in these photos. What a lovely day it was too. Another beautiful part of Lincolnshire.
ReplyDeleteI agree Val. There's a wildness about these areas that I enjoy. Thanks for finding this post and leaving a comment. Take care, David.
