For architecture, peep into the past on a fascinating tour of Christchurch Mansion. A Tudor manor with 500 years of history, you can also explore art and artefacts on its grounds at the Wolsey Art Gallery. How about highlights outside Ipswich? A 12-minute drive away from here, vehicle buffs will enjoy the Ipswich Transport Museum, housing over 100 engineering and transport marvels – made or used in Ipswich. You’ll see lorries, fire engines, cranes and much more. A walker’s paradise that offers wildlife and unspoilt views, blow off the cobwebs along the Shotley Peninsula – a 15-minute drive away.
