IPSWICH WATERFRONT
The port of Ipswich on the banks of the River Orwell has been a place of trade since the 8th century. Although it’s 10km inland, it has a rich maritime history and shares the culture of the coastal towns and villages of Suffolk. Don’t miss: A stroll along the water’s edge. Lunch, brunch or a candlelit dinner whilst cruising the river aboard The Allen Gardiner River Restaurant. Taking to the water on Sailing Barge Victor for supper, afternoon tea or an evening of music. An evening meal with a sunset view of the harbour, while yachts and boats sail in and out of the marina. A meander up to The Saints – comprising St Nicholas Street and St Peters Street - one of Ipswich’s most historic and attractive gems where you’ll find an eclectic mix of great independent eateries and shops.

Did you know: Christchurch Mansion, set within the town’s historic park, is home to one of the world’s most important collections of artist John Constable’s work. It’s the only place in his own region where his paintings can be seen.
