Parkeston

Parkeston is a former railway town on the Essex coast, developed around the Great Eastern Railway's continental ferry terminal in the Victorian era. Reach it via the A120 from the A12, about 70 miles from London. The town sits between Harwich port and Dovercourt, with over 80 EV charging points nearby. The original Victorian railway workers' cottages still line Parkeston Road, marking its heritage as a crucial link in Britain's European transport network.
