Christchurch Mansion
by Carnation
The mansion is found in Christchurch Park, situated downtown. A walk through the mansion is a must as there, you will find many interesting Tudorial artifacts and how the better half lived in days gone by. The park itself is host to numerous outdoor concerts, arts, fairs and events and is the venue for our Guy Fawkes celebrations on 5th November each year in which we celebrate with a magnificent fireworks display. You can enjoy the Bird Reserve, Arboreta, play croquet on the lawns, have a go on the bowling green, a round of tennis on the courts and there is also a children's play area. (see more pics and info in my travelogue)
Thoroughfare
by Airpunk
Half-timbered houses are not uncommon in Ipswich’s town center. Only few of them are from medeival ages, most of them were built in a medieval style in the latter centuries. The Thoroughfare, a small alley in the town center, is the place so see many of such buildings and to get a medieval feeling for a couple of minutes. As you may assume, this is also an area with many pubs :)
