Felixstowe sits on a stretch of the Suffolk coast defined by the meeting of the River Orwell and the River Deben. It is essentially a town of two halves: the busy, industrial container port to the south - which dominates the local economy - and the quieter, traditional Edwardian seaside resort that stretches towards Old Felixstowe in the north. The town centre is set back on the cliff top, while the promenade below runs past the recently restored Spa Gardens and a mix of sand and shingle beaches. Historically, it gained prominence in the late 19th century as a fashionable watering hole, but today it functions as a practical, self-contained town with a year-round community. To the north, the landscape opens up into the Landguard Peninsula, home to an 18th-century fort and a nature reserve, providing a rugged contrast to the manicured gardens of the seafront. It’s a place where the scale of global shipping lanes sits right next to quiet, salt-marsh walks and quiet residential streets.
