Harwich is one of those towns that wears its maritime history proudly, with salty air, cobbled streets and character in spades. Tucked into the north-east corner of Essex, it sits right on the coast where the Stour and Orwell rivers meet the North Sea. There's a slightly windswept charm about it, with a working port on one side and a historic old town on the other. It's got that proper seaside town feel—no fuss, just a strong sense of place, good pubs, and a story behind every building.

The town's history is tied closely to the sea. Harwich was once one of the most important naval dockyards in the country, and its strategic location made it a key player during times of conflict. It was here that ships were built and repaired for centuries, and it still serves as an international port to this day. The famous Mayflower, which carried the Pilgrims to America in 1620, is believed to have had strong links to the town—its captain, Christopher Jones, hailed from Harwich. You'll find Georgian architecture, old fortifications, and a strong maritime identity wherever you walk.

There's plenty to do in and around town. The Harwich Maritime Museum is housed in a former lighthouse and gives a great insight into the town's seafaring past. The Electric Palace Cinema is a gem—one of the oldest purpose-built cinemas still operating in the UK. Walks along the quay and through the historic streets of Old Harwich are always a treat, especially if you stop off for a pint at one of the town's centuries-old pubs. Not far away, English Heritage's Landguard Fort in Felixstowe offers a great day out across the estuary. For National Trust fans, Flatford Mill and the heart of Constable Country aren't too far inland, perfect for a countryside break from the sea breeze.

In the wider Essex area, you're never short of options. Colchester's a must if you're after Roman ruins, museums and a lively market town atmosphere. Dedham Vale is full of chocolate-box villages and scenic walks, while Southend offers classic seaside fun with arcades, beaches, and that famously long pier. Saffron Walden brings Tudor charm and independent shops, and places like Maldon and Burnham-on-Crouch give you quieter riverside charm with a laid-back pace. Essex has a knack for balancing old and new with ease.

Harwich is easy enough to reach, especially by train. It's got its own station—Harwich Town—served by direct services from Manningtree, which sits on the main line between London Liverpool Street and Norwich. If you're coming by road, the A120 connects Harwich to Colchester and the A12. There are ferries from the International Port to the Hook of Holland, making it one of the few English towns with proper passenger services to the continent. For flights, London Stansted is the nearest major airport—just over an hour away by car or train.

Essex often gets unfairly pigeonholed, but it's far more varied than most people give it credit for. There's a patchwork of towns, each with its own character, from the fast pace of city-style living to the slow rhythm of the coast or countryside. Its coastline is long and wonderfully inconsistent—sometimes shingle, sometimes marshy, sometimes sandy, but always interesting. Inland, there's no shortage of history, green space, hidden villages and friendly locals. It's got grit, charm, and more stories to tell than you might expect—and Harwich is a perfect place to start listening.
