Isn't the Port Authority supposed to be building on the east side again? There were rumours about losing Tide Mills beach, which can be sandy at very low tide.

Newhaven port desperately needs a new loading ramp- the existing one is not fit for purpose. As for Normandy- well I've been here for 15 years off and on. Great place. If you want the sea air- visit the D Day beaches. Lion sur Mer is great- not too big and busy. Also Beauvron en Auge which James Martin visited recently on his French trip is a very historic pretty village. Honfleur is nice but quite touristy

If you're driving, don't forget your hi-viz jackets ... and don't put them in the boot.

My pleasure.
Jumieges was stunning btw, if it's not too much of schlep from your Dieppe base. We've had a beautiful spring day over here so that helps, but incredible ruins nearly a millennium old, with the chalk cliffs of the Seine in the background.

As mentioned elsewhere, they do have large comfortable reclining seats. The cabins are reasonably priced if you want a little more privacy, but you arrive at around 4am local time so I've never really considered using them.
Alternatively there is a 10am crossing I've used in the past, nice coffee, alright food and ale on draught.

Not me. I'm heading to Paris and then flying to Santiago de Compostela in Spain. I'm "between jobs", as they say.
As I was saying.

I will believe it when I see it.
There was a story in the paper approx 8 years back about plans for a tower block in Bridge Street, never happened.

Love it when these old threads get bounced and come alive again.
Harveys are finally working on the pub though.
Yes I noticed that but I heard it was going to be flats, not sure how true that is.

Its a great service, used it new year as a footpassenger, walked down to the train station in about 15 minutes in the frost, 5AM train down to Rouen and then onto Le Mans. The train service is execellent in France.
Tip - if you want a shower you need to take your own showergel, they will give you a towl if you ask when you check in as they dont bother putting them in the cabins on most crossings.
Use the Eurotunnel a lot as well when the dog comes along, also a great service as long as you use it outside of any kids school holidays. The drive is endless from here if you head south compared to Dieppe or Quistream.

Great news this, especially that side of the port because it has so much potential. Only takes a development like this to get everything else going around it.
