イプスウィッチ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ10

Probably the most scenic part of Ipswich (admittedly not a very high bar).

Pipers Vale is a little green oasis located on the banks of the River Orwell. From the park, you can enjoy fantastic views of the mighty Orwell Bridge, an iconic landmark known for its impressive architecture and scenic views.

Sometimes known as Sparrowe's House, Ancient House is a an elaborate 15th century building. The house is adorned with pargeting, decorative plastering from Suffolk ad Essex. Part of the pargeting depicts the tudor view on the four continents then known to them, Africa, America, Asia and Europe. The Royal Arms of King Charles II was added in the 17th century.

Rolling lawns, lakes and woodlands, Christchurch Park is a great place to find nature on a run in Ipswich. It opened in 1985 and has been a popular place for relaxation and activity since. There are pubic toilets to the east of Bridle Way.

A visit to Ipswich Waterfront is worth including in any tour of the town. Here you can admire countless yachts, and also also eat / drink well. There are a range of restaurants, cafes and bars here.

Rushmere Common is a beautiful open space, featuring heathland, gorse and woodland. It's a remnant of the Sandlings, which was a vast area of sandy heathland that once covered much of East Suffolk. One of the two optional starting points for the Sandlings Walk long-distance footpath is at the western end of the Common on Heath Road.

Alongside the A14, there's a leafy park with well kept tracks. Great views of the road bridge over the estuary.

I live on Ipswich Waterfront and most of my exercise, due to lockdown, is here. Worth knowing that it is now closed to vehicles to make it easier to use for exercise, although walkers and runners need to keep an eye out for cyclists as who uses path or road is very mixed! It gets very busy on warm or sunny days, so if you want to exercise you are best off getting out early if you want to be able to socially distance and keep moving. There are still occasional vehicles and when the hotel and bars/restaurants open again there are likely to be more, despite being prohibited at the moment. There is an active consultation on making the road closure to vehicles permanent.
