The modern housing in Harwich and Dovercourt has seamlessly joined the two towns together almost as one, although through history it has not always been that way. Dovercourt is actually older than Harwich and was originally a small farming community until the mid 19th century when the building began to expand the town. Harwich's history only goes back as far as approximately 1150 when it quickly became a thriving port; this was due to its location, as it provides the only safe anchorage between the Thames and the Humber.
There are plenty of things to do while you are in Harwich: MS Brightlingsea is a vintage passenger boat which runs daily tours of the Orwell and Stour estuary and departs from Old Harwich all through the summer months, it also provides Dinner Cruises that run all the year round; The Redoubt is an impressive circular fort which was built in 1808 in order to defend the port of Harwich, part of this fort is now a military museum and battle re-enactments as well as other events are held during the summer. Another place of interest is the Electric Palace cinema; this is wonderful little building which was built in 1911. It stopped operating as a cinema in 1956, but in 1981 after much renovation it now shows mainstream release films every weekend, this is a member's only cinema with annual membership open to all at a cost of £4.
Harwich is definitely a perfect destination whether you are en route to another part of Europe or looking for an area of England that you may not have seen, with its historic town centre with exciting shopping malls, wonderful walks and good quality restaurants, all of these make a visit to Harwich well worth time and effort.
