Ipswich Wet Dock

Ipswich Wet Dock is one of the largest enclosed wet docks in the UK, sitting right in the heart of Ipswich's regenerated waterfront, surrounded by converted Victorian warehouses, restaurants, and the University of Suffolk campus. The mix of working port heritage and buzzing urban life gives it a gritty, characterful atmosphere you won't find at your average marina. Now operated by Associated British Ports, it connects directly to the wider Port of Ipswich, and you're a short walk from the town centre, galleries, and some solid spots to eat and drink.
