Visiting Ipswich

If you are looking for a relaxing break in a vibrant and flourishing town surrounded by some of the country's most unspoiled countryside, Ipswich is hard to beat.

Ipswich offers a superb choice of restaurants and accommodation, a variety of visitor attractions, stunning architecture, over 1500 years of history, beautiful parks and the fabulously rejuvenated Waterfront.

Highlights include:

• Christchurch Mansion - a beautiful Tudor house and art gallery with nationally important art collections;
• The Town Hall Galleries;
• Ipswich Museum;
• Ipswich Transport Museum;
• Guided walks with our Blue Badge Tour Guides bring the heritage of Ipswich - and famous people connected with the town such as Wolsey, Dickens, and Nelson - to life;
• A cruise on the River Orwell from the Waterfront is unmissable.

Ipswich is the entertainment capital of the region including the exotic Ip-art summer arts festival, thriving theatres, cinemas, clubs and bars.

Yet, wherever you stay in or around the town you are only minutes away from picture postcard villages, Constable Country and the Heritage Coast.
