About Harwich, Essex

Harwich is a historic port town on the Tendring peninsula in north-east Essex, positioned where the rivers Stour and Orwell meet the North Sea. The town has a population of around 20,000 and a maritime heritage stretching back centuries, including connections to the Mayflower, whose captain Christopher Jones was a Harwich resident. The Old Town retains its medieval street pattern and contains numerous listed buildings, including the Treadwheel Crane and the High Lighthouse. Harwich International Port is one of the UK's busiest ferry terminals, operating services to the Hook of Holland and Esbjerg. The Redoubt, a circular Napoleonic fort built in 1808, now serves as a museum.
