  • Ipswich is home to the river Orwell. The Ipswich docks are quite big and have some big ships sailing in and out, including some war ships on occasions. There are many different countrside walks to go on in various areas in Ipswich, but the walks alongside the river Orwell is one of the best. You head towards Holbrook or Shotley, two villages on the outskirts of town. To get to them you have to go alongside the river and under the Orwell bridge. The Orwell bridge is an impressive size and going directly underneath it whilst looking out across the main shipping channel over the Orwell river is a nice romantic walk. Drive a bit further, into Shotley village and there's a lovely little beach with a friendly quayside pub. You can enjoy a meal, drinks and stroll along the beach, whilst looking across the water to Harwich.
