HAVERHILL Haverhill is a market town that dates back to Saxon times. Whilst most of its historical buildings were lost to the great fire on 14 June 1667, it does however retain one notable Tudor house (reportedly given to Anne of Cleves as part of her divorce from Henry VIII, and thus titled Anne of Cleves House) and many interesting Victorian buildings. Haverhill is predominantly a modern and young town, with a small centre with a number of shops, including a retail quarter, and a leisure complex with a number of restaurants and a Cineworld. The town has a refurbished leisure centre with a state-of-the-art gym and swimming pool, and an Arts Centre that hosts a range of entertainments. Haverhill also offers wonderful green spaces; the large recreation ground in the heart of the town is popular with all ages while there’s also the award-wining East Town Park. IPSWICH Once a solid centre of maritime commerce and activity, the Ipswich ‘Docks’ has been transformed into the Ipswich ‘Waterfront’. Much of the rich fabric of the past remains intact with sensitive renovations of several heritage dockland buildings including the delectable boutique style Salthouse Harbour Hotel and the imposing Old Custom’s House. Meanwhile, a new wave of vibrant cafes, cosmopolitan restaurants, interesting shops and modern apartment blocks has washed in with the tide. Add this to the ever-changing skyline; the vista of visiting large sailing boats, Royal Navy ships, yachts and powerboats, it’s easy to see why Ipswich has become one of the most sought after destinations in the East. Ipswich Maritime Festival | www.visitsuffolk.com Ten minutes walk away is the town centre, which offers rich pickings in terms of its museums, galleries, theatres, parklands and high street shops. There’s also a great open-air market on the Cornhill on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, located right outside the refurbished Town Hall Galleries, which is well worth a visit. Christchurch Mansion, a fine Tudor house set in its own beautiful park in the heart of the town, boasts the most important collection outside of London of works by Constable and Gainsborough. International pop acts, mainstream, fringe theatre and an unrivalled arts festival can all be found at venues such as The Regent Theatre, the Corn Exchange, DanceEast and the New Wolsey Theatre. Of course, retail therapy is a must when in town. St Nicholas Street is ‘boutique paradise’, and there’s a thriving High Street and the Sailmakers Shopping Centre. eastlife.co.uk 135
