Curious Discovery's
From the tranquillity of Neptune Quay the lure of the bustling shops in Ipswich town centre is only a few minutes walk away.
Alternatively take the car and within 20 minutes you’ll be transported into a Suffolk scene of chocolate box cottages, wood slatted fishing huts, windmills and endless walks along this picturesque coastline.
Tucked away little places, quiet sleepy backwaters and quaint seaside villages are commonplace and just waiting to be discovered. This is Constable country and you will see why he chose to capture its beauty and way of life, which in almost every part it still retains today.
Here are a few of our suggestions for places to see...
