Harwich, pronounced 'Harich' or 'Harridge', is a port town in Essex, East Anglia.
Harwich lies at the junction of two estuaries and the area forms one of the UK's major harbours although most freight shipping actually operates from Felixstowe, a short distance over the water, rather than from Harwich itself. Ferries to northern Europe operate from adjacent Parkeston, while there are fast rail and road links to London.
