About Harwich - show infohide info
Harwich is a town in Essex, England, located on the coast with the North Sea to the east. It is in the Tendring district. Nearby places include Felixstowe to the northeast, Ipswich to the northwest and Colchester to the southwest. The town is believed to date from the mid-12th century. Its position on the estuaries of the Stour and Orwell rivers and its usefulness to mariners as the only safe anchorage between the Thames and Humber led to a long period of maritime significance, both civil and military. The town was heavily fortified, with Harwich Redoubt, Beacon Hill Battery, and Bath Side Battery. Harwich was the home town for Christopher Jones, the master and quarter-owner of the Mayflower, and was also a base for that ship. The Royal Navy is no longer present in Harwich but adjacent Parkeston continues to offer a regular ferry service to Hoek van Holland in the Netherlands. Many operations of the large container port at Felixstowe and of Trinity House, the lighthouse authority, are managed from Harwich, and a new container port in Bathside Bay has been proposed. Towns nearby include Colchester, Clacton-on-Sea, Ipswich, Felixstowe and Braintree
