Newhaven town & country

Newhaven is a small ferry port on the south coast of England, about 10 miles east of Brighton. The port and ferry service are heavily subsidized by the French local authorities in Dieppe - at the other end of the four-hour ferry crossing. It has the potential to be a pleasant resort at the mouth of the Sussex Ouse. Much of its industry has now gone, but it always seems to miss out when redevelopment plans are made. Several retail, housing and hotel plans have come and gone. A major leisure development in the shape of 'Europe's largest under-cover water park' has recently slipped away. It is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is mid-way between the two major seaside resorts of Brighton and Eastbourne. I hope that these photos give a flavour of the town and its surroundings.
