Newhaven Port
Newhaven is located between Eastbourne and Brighton. It is situated at the mouth of the River Ouse in East Sussex, England.
It was created almost by accident as until 1570, the River Ouse entered the sea at Seaford until a tempest suddenly changed the course of nature and altered the course of the river to a point near its present mouth and so Newhaven was born.
It has grown from its early routes as a barge port to a steamer services to Dieppe to the Ferry service as we know it today.
Since 2007 LD Lines and Transmarche ferries its sister company have operated a year round cross-channel ferry route from Newhaven to Dieppe, France. There are 15 sailings weekly from Newhaven to Dieppe taking just 4 hours.
