The town features the Grade II* listed Ipswich Museum and Christchurch Mansion, a brick Tudor residence dating to 1548. Nature enthusiasts can wander through the 67-acre Holywells Park or the historic arboreta of Christchurch Park. Architectural landmarks include the medieval ruins of Blackfriars, founded in 1263, and the Victorian Gothic St Pancras Church. The list is completed by Portman Road Stadium, the iconic home of Ipswich Town Football Club since 1884.
