Ipswich

Historic Anglo-Saxon town

Ipswich , the county town of Suffolk and England's oldest continously settled Anglo-Saxon town, has a number of attractions for the visitor.

There is Christchurch Park and Mansion , The Waterfront, The Suffolk countryside, Golf courses, Ipswich Town Football Club, top shops, Restaurants, the Marina, and a whole lot more.

It is also within easy reach of the coastal towns of Clacton -on-sea, Felixstowe, Southwold, Southend, and many more.

It is close to the historic town of Colchester (over the border in Essex), which has the famous Colchester Zoo.

The River Orwell runs through parts of the town, and a visit to the marina is worth a visit. You can visit a few bars and enjoy a drink while watching the boats etc.

A ride on the open top city sightseeing tour bus would acquaint you with the town sights.

There are also guided walks to let you discover more about the town and it's heritage,

Tours start from the Tourist Information Centre on Tuesdays and Thursdays from May to September at 2.15 p.m.
