As part of Greater Anglia’s Customer and Community Improvement Fund, new ‘Grazing Walks’ maps have been created to encourage people to get outside without their cars.
The illustrated maps and leaflets encourage people to explore the Harwich Haven via train or ferry travel.
The leaflets link Harwich, Shotley, and Felixstowe to the ferry destinations, making days out easier to plan.
It features walking routes, accommodations, local attractions, and places to eat.
It aims to support local businesses while also supporting sustainable tourism.
The project received £1,300 from Greater Anglia and was supported by Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils, as well as East Suffolk Council.
Further information on Greater Anglia’s 2026/27 Customer and Community Improvement Fund can be found online.
“This is a great example of how sustainable public transport can open up new opportunities for people to explore the area.
“Our Customer and Community Improvement Fund supports locally led projects like this, and it’s fantastic to see it launching in time for the spring and summer season.”
Scott Dolling, Greater Anglia’s Partnerships Manager

The Not so Greater Anglia might be better focused on reviewing there rather changing connecting times at Manningtree for services to and from Harwich. The mentality of G.A. at Manningtree is to allow their London train to depart as the late arrival from Harwich pulls in.. when challenged they have the weak excuse that their London train is delayed by a couple of minutes might miss a bus connection at Colchester .. In my view a quite pathetic response from G.A.
