Amongst shire counties, Essex has one of the largest rail networks
with some 80 rail stations. The Essex & South Suffolk Community
Rail Partnership (ESSCRP) was founded in 1997 to encourage and promote
primarily off-peak travel for residents and business users of the
communities along four branch lines by stimulating a wide range
of projects, enabling the communities to increase their economic,
social and environmental welfare.
 |
There are four railway lines covered in this partnership.
Two of these lines are in the east of the county and within
the Tendring District Council area. |
| One of these routes runs between Manningtree and
Harwich and is named "The Mayflower Line. Starting from
Manningtree it travels through Mistley, Wrabness, Harwich International,
and Dovercourt, finishing at Harwich Town. |
 |
So take an opportunity to enjoy a journey through the beautiful
Essex countryside and discover the wealth of heritage and secrets
that Essex has to offer by visiting some historic gems mostly hidden
away in its tiny villages.
