Ipswich sits on the River Orwell in Suffolk, one of England's oldest continuously inhabited towns, with roots stretching back to Anglo-Saxon times as a trading port. Today that same waterfront energy lingers over its Wet Dock, where independent cafes serve up coffee within sight of old maritime warehouses. Visitors staying at one of the local hotels are well placed to explore the compact centre, and when hunger strikes, the town's restaurants offer everything from traditional Suffolk fare to global flavours.
