One of Ipswich's main highlights is its historic Waterfront, which is now bustling with restaurants and bars, while the quayside is home to an array of yachts and cruisers. You can also enjoy a cruise down the River Orwell from here.
If it's history you're looking for then head to Christchurch Park where you'll find Christchurch Mansion, a 1548 Tudor country house, which houses a fantastic arts collection including works by John Constable and Thomas Gainsborough.
You could also visit Ipswich Museum, which was founded in 1847 and is home to a Victorian Natural History Gallery and the Ipswich Story, which tells the tale of Ipswich since the Ice Age. The Ipswich Transport Museum, the Martlesham Heath Aviation Society Museum, and the Clifford Road Air Raid Shelter Museum are also worth a look.
