Waterfront

Close to the centre of the town, Ipswich’s historic Waterfront has undergone an exciting renaissance. It's 'the' place to be.

Ipswich Wet Dock

When opened in 1842, the Wet Dock was the largest area of enclosed water of its kind in England. Today it combines maritime architecture, with a commercial port, two marinas and a place to stroll and enjoy the restaurants and bars along the quay.

Following the "Wet Dock Maritime Trail" is well worth the walk, guiding you past the old warehouses, inns, merchant houses and quays that make up this fascinating area.
