What is the worst marina/ harbour you have ever been to?

Interesting, how many entries here relate to Scottish, Irish, Welsh or foreign harbours. I mean, a high proportion of dissatisfaction in them, relative to the presumably greater numbers of harbours and users, in England.

St Malo's not bad. Not nearly as much noise from the ferries as you might think and decent facilities. Steep climb up to the quayside at low tide. The old city of St Malo is well worth a visit and there are several good restaurants not far away at Quai Solidor.

Except the old city of St malo is not that old - It is a fraud -as the original was almost completely destroyed in WW2

I try to avoid the clubhouse at Bradwell if at all possible.

That is good because living only 4.4 miles away we often go there for light meal & enjoy it. Would be fed up if we had to queue

The last time I went there was as part of a club rally unfortunately whoever was behind the bar seemed to have better things to do than take my food order/money so I gave up and made other arrangements

Maybe that's because England has turned all its harbours into marinas?

It is possible that you are talking about different places. It's a good while since I went to that part of the town but there is an old part on the peninsula to the west. This is an attractive small area with some impressive relics of the last war. The main town is rather sad to be sure, but that is hardly the fault of the locals, any more than Caen or Le Havre.

That sounds like the Citadel or Old City, which was indeed almost completely destroyed in the war. Rebuilding took about twenty years.

You cannot fool me !!!
That is not St Malo as it was ----- It is the dock area of Grimsby as it is !!!!
