Something a little different to our usual rambles - a pre Christmas 4km walk exploring our local town of Ipswich, including its marina, its history and the lovely Christchurch Park.

Ipswich is, some claim, England's oldest Anglo Saxon town; a place worth visiting for its long history, architectural delights and quirky corners. Half timbered and Elizabethan buildings line the streets of the medieval old town, contrasting with Norman Foster's gleaming modern Willis Building and the swanky expensive apartments of the marina.

Dickens, illustrator Edward Ardizzone and cartoonist Giles have connections with Ipswich, as do Lord Nelson and Henry VIII's trusted ally Thomas Wolsey, who was born here.
