On foot

Ipswich: Woolpack to Eagle Street

Ipswich has more folklore than its modern face suggests. The walk starts at the Woolpack, claimed as one of Britain's most haunted pubs, then visits Christchurch Mansion, the Halberd Inn, the Buttermarket and its witch Mother Lakeland, and ends at the grotesque painted face on Eagle Street.
