About Felixstowe - show infohide info
Felixstowe is a North Sea seaport in Suffolk, England, with a population of 24,000. It is one of the largest container ports in England. There was a village there since before the Norman conquest, but it only became a major port in 1886. In addition to shipping, tourism increased, and a pier was constructed in 1905.Indeed, during the late Victorian period (after circa 1880) it became a fashionable resort, a trend initiated by the opening of Felixstowe railway station, the pier, (see above) and a visit by the then German royal family. It remained so until the late 1930s. By the late 1990's the town council had neglected the pier so badly and for so long it was deemed to be unsafe and closed to public access. Felixstowe is twinned with the German towns Wesel and Salzwedel. It is administered by Suffolk Coastal District Council along with a Town Council. There is a nature reserve and bird observatory at Landguard Fort and a Golf Clubwhich is amongst the oldest in the UK having been established in 1881. Today Felixstowe is one of Britain's top three container ports (along with Southampton and Tilbury), dealing with 35% of container cargo — and Europe's fourth busiest. It has good road links to the Midlands via the A14 and to London via the A12 road. Nearby towns include Ipswich, Harwich, Colchester and Manningtree.
