Newhaven, Port town in East Sussex, England
Located at the mouth of the River Ouse, Newhaven contains a harbor with breakwaters, lighthouses, and extensive maritime facilities along its waterfront.
The settlement, formerly called Meeching, gained importance in the 16th century when a channel through the shingle spit created a sheltered harbor beneath Castle Hill.
The Newhaven Local & Maritime Museum displays artifacts and documents that tell the story of this coastal community's connection to seafaring traditions.
The town maintains regular cross-Channel ferry services to Dieppe, France, while functioning as a freight terminal with rail connections to London.
The Newhaven Fort, constructed in 1864 on Castle Hill, stands as the largest defensive structure in Sussex and now operates as a museum.
