Newhaven Ferries port is situated at the mouth of the River Ouse, a few kilometers east of Brighton.
Newhaven Ferries port is the closest port to London (fom 1 hour 30 minutes) with ferry links to France.
The Harbour Arm at Newhaven was added later on when people from the Channel Islands migrated to Newhaven, and built this arm.
The Harbour was very useful during the first and second World Wars, as it was the fastest way to reach Dieppe . At this time the town benefited greatly from the Navy being at Newhaven.
Today, the harbour's main function is as a commercial port with ferry links to Dieppe and Le Havre in France.
A visitor attraction in Newhaven is the huge Newhaven Fort, built on Castle Hill in the 1860s, It is the last of several built here since Bronze Age times.
Newhaven is well served by road and rail making it the ideal gateway from France via a Dieppe or a Le Havre Ferry.
