Pin Mill is a very picturesque spot. It is a small riverside hamlet at the half a mile from Chelmondiston. There are a few houses, two boatyards, an art gallery, and the ever-changing river with birds constantly on the move, yachts and majestic Thames barges.

The 17th century Butt and Oyster Inn is a thriving pub/restaurant. Arthur Ransome lived close by and used the river as his setting for the Swallows & Amazons book 'We didn't mean to go to sea'. Pin Mill also featured in the BBC 'Lovejoy' series.

There are public benches overlooking the quay directly opposite the pub if you're looking for a place for a rest stop.
