Is Ipswich A Good Holiday Destination?

[wolf63]

TripAdvisor thinks that Ipswich is an up-and-coming holiday destination, but is it true?

McGinty's has reverted back to the original name of the pub, TTT. It's now the Halberd Inn once again:

It's not a bad place but there are better pubs around the town centre, such as the Arbor House (for sheer class and outstanding food)

. . . the Lord Nelson (for olde worlde charm)

. . . the Briarbank (for beers brewed on the premises)

. . . the Dove Street Inn (for real ale lovers)

. . . and the Steamboat Tavern (for live music):

From my post yesterday evening, TTT:
"I was born and raised in Ipswich and, having returned to my home county after a couple of decades in Sheffield, I've lived 9 miles down the road from there for the past 30-odd years."

So I reckon that I know a thing or two about the town ;-)

Big mate of mine........don't suppose you came across him?

The Cock and Pye is the pub that I probably get into most often, TTT!

Sorry, Sqad. I never met Frank Wells. He was based in Leiston, which is one of the most dull and boring towns in the county, so I've only rarely visited it.
