Ramsey Essex hotels:

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. Harwich has a rich history with many sites of interest, most of which are centred on Old Harwich including... The Redoubt a circular Napoleonic fort dating from 1808 ....The Maritime Museum housed in one of the town s disused lighthouses ....The Lifeboat Museum housed in a Victorian lifeboat-house of 1876 .... The Ha'penny Pier Visitor Centre housed in a Victorian pier ticket office, and now incorporating a Mayflower exhibition............
