Harwich
Town is about 3 miles east of the International Port where the cruise
and ferry terminal is. Harwich Town itself is surprisingly quiet,
being at the end of a peninsular nobody is passing through. The
town is very interesting with a heritage trail following many points
of interest, mostly connected with its maritime past.
Much play is made of a former resident, Christopher Jones, captain
of the Mayflower that brought the Pilgrims to North America. There
is a small free museum as well about the Mayflower.
Next door to Harwich is Dovercourt. Here you will find shops and
the towns main beach. Doverport is about a 20 minute walk along
a pleasant seafront pedestrian/bicycle path.
There is a small beach in Harwich itself by the Lifeboat museum.
