FelixstoweSuffolk

The UK's busiest container port (handling 40% of Britain's container trade), the Victorian seafront, Landguard Fort, and a Suffolk resort that balances industry and pleasure in extraordinary proximity

Felixstowe Port became the UK's leading container port in the 1960s when other ports were disrupted by industrial action. The Victorian resort survives alongside the vast container terminal — creating one of England's most unusual townscapes. Landguard Fort has guarded the harbour since 1540.

Landguard Fort and Landguard Point for watching the giant container ships pass just offshore — one of England's most dramatic industrial spectacles. The pier for the Victorian experience. The beach huts are excellent.
