Description

A curated collection of the most beautiful and remote spots in bays, rivers and harbours around the UK and Ireland.

The UK and the Irish coastlines boast some of the most stunning and varied places for dropping anchor in the world. But it's not always easy to find anchorages that are sheltered and secure with beautiful scenery. Authored by a panel of highly experienced cruisers, this guide offers detailed knowledge of every part of the coast of the UK, Ireland and the Channel Islands. Their recommendations can be trusted to take sailors away from the crowds to some of the very best anchorages these islands have to offer, from peaceful Babbacombe Bay in Devon with stunning views to Toberdenny in Ireland, an unspoiled natural harbour that's achingly beautiful at sunset. Each anchorage is accompanied with a chart, brilliant photography and a description of the place, covering why you should go, any hazards to look out for, and information on your approach, navigation, shelter, facilities available and wildlife to spot.

Anchorages of the British Isles is the perfect planning guide for day trips, weekend getaways or summer breaks to explore cherry-picked, lesser known locations and make the most of the beautiful coastline. Get ready to discover the finest spots to drop anchor along the coasts of the British Isles.
