An enjoyable way to discover Harwich is to follow the Maritime Heritage Trail. Starting at the Low Lighthouse Maritime Museum built in 1818 and ending at the Barge Murals which overlook the site where Thames Sailing barges were built up to 1930. On route down the quaint streets take in gems such as the Electric Palace Cinema, built in 1911 and now the oldest unaltered purpose built cinema in Britain, St Nicholas Church rebuilt in 1821 and The Redoubt which was built in 1808, a large circular fort to protect the harbour from a Napoleonic invasion. These are just few of the treasures the trail has to offer!
