TWTD Hive mind on Ipswich 10:51 - Jul 11 with 3887 viewsjasondozzell

Recently moved to centre of Ipswich. My mum's family are from here and I grew up in Colchester so know the area a fair bit. My mum and uncle have helped a lot with recommendations etc but thought it would be useful to see what you all had to say!

Best independent shops?
Best villages/places to cycle out to?
Best places to run? (Love Christchurch Park!)
Best live music venue?
Best place for a pint of Guinness?
Best fish and chips?
Best pub? (Neck and neck between Arcade Tavern and Greyhound at the moment!)
Best place to buy records? (Found Out of Time and enjoyed hunting in there. Is there anywhere else?)
Best place on the waterfront?
Best place for breakfast?
Best cinema? (impressed with King Street!)
Best walks?
Best historical sites/museum/gallery? (I know last two both closed at the moment!)

Any other tips?

Cheers!

Best other tip is Foxhall, although I prefer Felixstowe
tip personally.


Best tip is Bury St Edmunds.

Lavenham Guildhall is probably the finest National Trust property in the country,


And don't miss a visit to Snoasis.

I'd check the visiting times for Snoasis if I were you.


Otherwise you'll get a massive

You may already be aware of this, but they don't serve Guinness in Arcade Tavern - much to the dismay of some oiks who'd been in court a few weeks ago, was very amusing seeing them return their pints of some random porter after a couple of sips.

Best is a very relative term for some of those. If you drink Guinness in the land of Adnams you should add ‘best counsellor’ to your wish list

Adnams beer is largely not very good. Not as bad as Greene King, but there are far better breweries out there than Adnams.
