About

Dovercourt Vines & Parkeston is a coastal ward situated at the southern end of Harwich Harbour. It encompasses the residential areas of Dovercourt and the historically significant port settlement of Parkeston. The landscape is defined by its working waterfront, with the large commercial quays of Parkeston Quay forming a central feature. The area maintains strong maritime connections, with ferry services operating to mainland Europe.

The ward includes long stretches of shingle beach and promenade along Dovercourt Bay. Inland, the terrain is largely flat and residential, with some light industrial zones near the port. A notable local landmark is the Dovercourt lighthouse, which stands on a concrete causeway extending into the sea. The area's economy and character remain closely tied to the harbour and its transport links.
