Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Cyclist in Holywells Park, Ipswich This park provides an extensive area of wild and cultivated land quite near the centre of Ipswich, surrounded by housing and industrial areas. It includes some steep slopes and large depressions, which were presumably the holy wells that provide its name.

A sign at the entrance tells us that in 1066 the manor on the site was owned by Edith, the wife of Edward the Confessor. In Victorian times the manor (presumably a newer one!) was owned by the Cobbold family famous for brewing in the area. The final manor was demolished in 1962 well after the park was presented to the corporation, although some outbuildings remain.

That sign also states that cycling is forbidden.
