Ipswich Holidays

Situated at the head of the Orwell river estuary, Ipswich is a non-metropolitan district and the county town of Suffolk. Ipswich was a rich trading port in the Middle Ages and possesses numerous medieval flint churches. The town suffered German bombs during the raids of WWII and has undergone many extensive rebuilding and refurbishments. In March 2007, Ipswich was awarded the cleanest town award and its proximity to London, Norwich and Stansted Airport has helped its prosperity.
