Where to stay in Priory Heath
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
Beds are an Ipswich matter. Priory Heath is residential ward ground, and a stay here puts the Ipswich Gymnastics Centre and the streets of the South East Area nearer than the town's shops, quays and restaurants. Nothing here reads as a hotel quarter.
If you are travelling for a competition at the Ipswich Gymnastics Centre, this ward is the practical base, and anyone here for the rest of Ipswich or the wider county of Suffolk should look at the middle of town instead.
