welcome to historic

Harwich, England

Harwich is a busy coastal town and international port located on the estuary of the rivers Stour and Orwell in north-east Essex, England. The town is a historically important port which has provided a sheltered anchorage for shipping through the ages. The old town of Harwich is a conservation area containing many historic buildings. The neighbouring town of Dovercourt, while appearing much more modern, actually merits a mention in the Domesday Book.

An Apology ..

This web-site has become rather out of date recently and whilst we are planning an exciting new initiative to deliver up-to-date travel, local and community information the project is progressing rather more slowly than we had hoped.

The project is carried out in spare time by volunteers so your continued support is vital!

In the meantime for up-to-date travel information please contact Harwich Tourist Information Centre
