‘Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore’
Andre Gide

Even the humble shores of Newhaven in East Sussex. Newhaven ferry port overlooks the English Channel, one of the busiest shipping channels in the world. It is located on the south coast of England in the county of Sussex at the mouth of the river Ouse. It is the closest port to London with Ferry links to France, and is ideally placed between the seaside resorts of Brighton and Eastbourne with quick and easy access to the rest of the UK.

On my way to work I pass this ferry. The pull to hop on and cross the channel is always there!
