766 - WHEEL

Except during the winter, Dani runs the oLdEst rowboat ferry in England and has done so for the last 22 years. Since as early as 1236 a ferry has plied the River Blyth. In modern times it operates from dawn to dusk. Dani finds it easy to sleep well! You can even see a wheel or few on the ferry as it also takes cycles and strollers.

Dani Church has run the Southwold-Walberswick ferry for the last 22 years. Her family has been navigating the River Blyth since 1885.

The River Blyth is only 164 feet wide at this point, and the ferry ride takes mere minutes
