Such an interesting place to visit. You have access to so many rooms and it's as if the occupants of old had just moved out as it was all laid out in the style of rooms from that era. All the interesting furniture and paintings from Constable and Gainsborough are worth seeing. The present large photographic exhibition is thought provoking and definitely worth a visit and best of all entry to the whole place is free and it's all set in a beautiful park to explore.

A beautiful mansion in the heart of Ipswich Town Centre, within the Christchurch Park. Ample parking all around, both free and paid. Great for walks, picnics or socialising and community events.

The mansion is tasteful without being over the top. There are some good paintings. The cafe is worth a visit and the guided tour is highly recommended. The staff are friendly and overall it exceeded expectations, and this is without mentioning the park.

This is a lovely place to visit and it's free entry. The little cafe is also very good. Definitely recommend their cheese scones. There's also an exhibition by a local photographer, who worked in fleet street. Take some time out and take a look, as they are stunning photos. So if you're in Ipswich or just visiting. Pop into Christchurch park and make a day of it. After all it's free.

Lovely animal exhibition, some nice Consrables including one I'd never seen before. Lots of other things to see, rooms set out as they would have been, China, silver from the Unitarian church etc set in a beautiful building and park and free
