About Ipswich

Ipswich is Suffolk's county town and one of England's oldest continuously settled towns, built around a River Orwell waterfront that mixes marina berths with Tudor-era streets. Christchurch Mansion, the timber-framed Ancient House and a regenerated dockside of bars and a university campus anchor the centre.
