Perched on the northern tip of Essex, a coastal town packed with charm, a bustling nightlife and historic landmarks. Harwich was the starting point for the pilgrim fathers' epic journey, and today a replica ship remains. Away from the coast, Harwich offers more snapshots of history with one of Britain's first cinemas, the Electric Palace, so why not catch a film? There's also Beacon Hill Fort's radar tower and some cracking Harwich campsites.
