This rare canal-side harbour survived the wartime bombing, and locals cherish its historic charm, working windmill and old-world quays. It was the Pilgrim Fathers' departure point, giving it a storied past.
Expect pretty waterways, a distillery windmill and cosy waterside cafés to wander between.
Local tip: Follow the canal on foot for the prettiest, quietest stretches.
