Built on the river Orwell estuary, Ipswich in Suffolk is one of the UK’s oldest settlements. Many of Ipswich’s sports shops can be found in the thriving town centre and quayside. The area draws thousands of visitors each year, and the relative flatness of the region makes it a haven for cyclists. Moons Cycles in Norwich Road and Pedal Power in Gloster Road are just two of the towns many cycling shops, several of which offer a comprehensive cycle repair service.
The river and nearby coast also attract many fishing enthusiasts; two of the numerous Ipswich fishing shops include Bills Fishing Tackle in Nansen Road and Viscount Fishing Tackle in Clapgate Lane. New rods, reels and accessories are always available as well as a selection of live bait. Paintball fanatics have a great facility in Ipswich with Gunsmoke Paintball that offers players four different action zones.
