Wivenhoe
Wivenhoe station
This pretty riverside town faces Rowhedge and Fingringhoe across the river Colne and was once the haunt of smugglers. The town has an attractive quayside and in medieval times the people of Wivenhoe made their living from fishing. As the fishing industry declined in the 15th century the boat building industry developed. During WWII sections of the Mulberry Harbour used for the D Day landings were built here. An easy 5KM cycle route which follows the river from Colchester Town railway station to Wivenhoe station offers the cyclist an opportunity to visit this delightful town.
