Clifford Road Air Raid Shelter Museum

Former Air raid Shelter from World War 2 converted into a museum.

Reviewed By 1972march - Ipswich, United Kingdom

I accidentally stumbled across this on Google Maps, otherwise, I'd never have found this priceless gem! I had no idea there was an air raid shelter in Ipswich that was open to the public - it was only re-opened in 1989 apparently, and has been converted into a museum containing many artefacts from WW2. Run by volunteers, some in period costume, this wonderful place is well worth a visit. Opening times are limited and it's best to check their website. Perfect for all ages, and don't forget to check out the train!!

Christchurch Park

Reviewed By RodF143 - Ipswich, United Kingdom

This park is certainly a Jewell, it is a wonderful open space in the centre of Ipswich. The arboretum is well tended and full of lovely shrubs, flowers and magnificent trees; squirrels that are quite tame are in abundance and a variety of birdlife; the outside tennis courts that are nestled in the trees are well utilised. The large ponds with their many species is of wildfowl and if you are lucky you may see one of the many turtles or terrapins that frequent the wilderness pond, that's if the commorant sitting high up in the tree at the edge hasn't picked them off. To cap it all, the highlight of the park, that is the Christchurch Mansion, free to all to roam and see it's many displays of art and artifacts, and indeed I was very fortunate to see Rodin's sculpture "The Kiss" on the day I visited. The park was bustling with people of all ages and backgrounds. What a joy.

Ipswich Museum

Reviewed By sarahbarrett2018 - Ipswich, United Kingdom

Step back in time and look with wonder through Victorian Eyes. a purpose built museum from the mid Victorian era with stuffed animals, egyptian mummys, and fossils from far and wide. Lots of workshops for families and young children. Close to Christchrch Park with Christchurch Mansion.
