Coronavirus (COVID-19)

If you are planning on travelling distance to attractions, we would recommend that you contact the venues directly in advance to avoid disappointment.

If you, or any of your party have a new persistant cough, or develop a fever of 38C, we would instead advise you to use the NHS's dedicated website for professional advice.

Gayton Engine Pumping Station

The Gayton Engine Pumping Station is of interest to many, architects, engineers, historians, and stands in the marsh as a monument to our forefathers who first wrestled with the flooding from the rivers and sea, embanking and erecting sluices to contain and direct the waters, and then lifting flood waters by wind driven and then stream driven pumps into the rivers. Such work enabled a living to be obtained from land which otherwise would be marsh and bog.
Admission is free, although contributions and donations are always welcome. There is free car parking and a picnic site.
