Ipswich, England
Ip's Which Roundabout Now
"Twinned with a retail park, proudly so"
Official Coat of Arms
A shield bearing the Orwell Bridge rampant over turbulent grey water, flanked by two Suffolk Punch horses looking mildly confused by a Sat Nav, with a Greggs sausage roll crest above the motto 'Semper In Roadworks'.
TripAdvisor Review
★★★☆☆ 3/5
"Went to Ipswich for the Waterfront, ended up stuck on the Copdock Interchange for what felt like a geological era. The marina bit is genuinely lovely with the university buildings and the old cranes, but then you wander two streets back and it's Greggs, a vape shop, and another Greggs. Portman Road on match day has real energy though, I'll give it that."— Barry Fenwick, Colchester
Property Listing
Charming Suffolk market town offering unparalleled access to the A14, breathtaking views of the Orwell Bridge from your kitchen window, and a waterfront regeneration that's *this* close to finally being finished. Ideal for the discerning buyer who enjoys the phrase 'up and coming' used unironically for two decades running.
Twinned With
Milton Keynes — Both are quietly convinced their roundabout system is a masterpiece of civic engineering that everyone else simply fails to appreciate.
