Harwich Harbour Ferry

Harwich Harbour Ferry

The Harwich Harbour Ferry is a foot ferry that runs during the summer between Harwich International Port near Harwich to Landguard Fort near Felixstowe and also with Shotley. As well as for local traffic, this ferry can be used as a short cut on the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Path; it takes bicycles and is used by National Cycle Route NCR 51 and the North Sea Cycle Route.

The ferry service started in 1912 and was operated from 1925 until 1992 by the MV Brightlingsea [http://www.hjcards.co.uk/pictures/brightlingsea_fdr_001.jpg] . The service was later restarted with the MV Explorer 12 which is licensed to carry 12 passengers [cite web|url=http://www.harwich.net/foot.htm|title=Harwich, Felixstowe and Shotley Foot Ferry society|accessdate=2007-12-29] .
