More about this scene

This small and delightful riverside town has a bustling quayside with a mix of pleasure boats and commerce in the shape of boat builders and repairers. Warehouses and cottages line the quay, many of them Georgian and early 19th-century with many picturesque bow windows to take advantage of the river views.
