Ipswich, Massachusetts |
|
|
Famous for clams, antiques, Crane Beach, artists and John Updike, Ipswich is an old town. |
||
|
The swift Ipswich River runs through the heart of this old town, founded in the mid-1600s. Come to swim, eat clams (and other good things), browse the shops, and tour the old Whipple House and the vast Crane Estate, with its huge manor-like Great House on Castle Hill. More... At the foot of Castle Hill, Crane Beach is a four-mile-long barrier beach that fills with sun-and-sea seekers in summer. More... Ipswich is 26 miles northeast of Boston along US Route 1A. The fastest drive is via I-93 North to I-95/MA 128 North, east to MA 1A north. Or take MA 133 north from Gloucester and Essex. |
