Sitting at the head of the River Orwell, Suffolk's county town of Ipswich was once a busy port dating back to Anglo-Saxon times. It has since reinvented itself with its stylish waterfront development and marina.
On a Blue Badge walking tour of the town, you will see the town's medieval prosperity reflected in 12 beautiful churches and stunning Tudor architecture. Marvel at the richly decorated Ancient House with its pargetted plasterwork, and admire a 20th century Norman Foster masterpiece in gleaming black glass. Delve further into history at Ipswich Museum and Ipswich Transport Museum to reveal more about the town's enthralling past.
