Recently included as one of Tripadvisor's top emerging destinations, Ipswich has a lot to offer, with fantastic galleries, charming architecture and beautiful countryside. The stylish Salthouse Harbour Hotel is located in tranquil Neptune Quay, a prime spot overlooking the harbour and just 20 minutes from the shops and restaurants of the town centre, where you could also catch a show at the New Wolsey Theatre. Just a 20-minute drive outside town you will find yourself passing through quaint seaside villages and the picturesque countryside (the very same countryside, in fact, that inspired painter John Constable). If it's great walks you're after, you could head to Orford Ness, a conservation area where you'll find great coastal views and rare birds, insects, plants and animals.
