Mayflower Line
Manningtree – Harwich Town
Begin your journey along the Mayflower Line at Manningtree, England’s smallest town. As you travel along the line you can explore the picture-perfect riverside town of Mistley, watch the wildlife that makes RSPB Stour Estuary its home, see a busy ferry and cruise port in action and discover the bustling seaside town of Dovercourt. All this before the train comes to a stop at historic Harwich Town, home of the inspiring Lifeboat Museum.
Harwich is a key part in the Mayflower 400 story. It is believed to be where the boat was built and where the ship’s captain called home. Click here to discover the full story and how you can explore the celebrations by rail…
