Ipswich in General

Unfortunately, Ipswich is now well-reknowned for the terrible goings-on from three years ago. However, don't let that put you off visitng this town! There are two good-sized shopping centres, which hold New Look, Topshop, Warehouse, Boots, Julian Graves and more! They also often have mini-stalls selling customised bags and t-shirts which is great if you want something individual. The shopping streets are well laid out, two paralell streets which run from one to the other, which makes shopping pretty straightforward. The nightlife can be a bit varied to be honest. As an East Anglian town it's no surprise to find an abundance of pubs. There is also available ...  Read the complete review

Ipswich has the slight disadvantage of being classed as 'East Anglian'. Any East of England tag tends to mean one of three things - that no-one really has much knowledge of it...no-one's that interested...or it's assumed to be a bit backward. Well listen up non-believers. Ipswich has a lot to be proud of. The regeneration around the docks is underway. It's a sight to behold on a crisp sunny day; as the cranes arch over the bustling cafes on the waterside. Spend some time in this lovely little town and you'll see a place that's unafraid of the future. Though its heritage is apparent wherever you look (I don't know many other places that can boast a cook shop ...  Read the complete review

Ipswich is located towards the south of Suffolk with a population of around 125,000 people. Although Ipswich is the county town of Suffolk, it is still a town, not a city. Ipswich has a long history, and there are many historic buildings still left, such as Christchurch Mansion and Ancient House. There are also many ancient churches, although sadly, many of these are no longer in use, and a few look quite out of place, especially those near the docks development. Arguably one of the town's most famous previous residents was Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, who became one of Henry VIII's most important advisers, before falling out of favour after failing to ...  Read the complete review

I have lived in Ipswich all my life, I'm only 20 years old now so it's not that long!. I have mixed feelings about Ipswich in all honesty... there are some very lovely parts of the town, which are quite quaint and dainty, and other parts that are rather dangerous and best avoided (but then again, most towns have parts like that!). The town itself features a long stretch of high street, which houses all the normal shops you'd expect to find in a busy town setting. There are also 2 undercover shopping malls - Tower Ramparts and The Buttermarket, both of which are easily accessible and feature a good selection of shops to cater for all styles and tastes. ...  Read the complete review
