Felixstowe
Location
Felixstowe occupies the tip of a peninsula between the estuaries of the Orwell and Deben rivers, roughly 12 miles southeast of Ipswich at coordinates 51.9639° N, 1.3511° E.
The A14 trunk road, which terminates at the port, provides a direct link westward to Ipswich and the national motorway network. The A154 runs through the town itself. Felixstowe railway station offers a branch-line service into Ipswich, where connections to London Liverpool Street, Norwich, and Cambridge are readily available.
History
Felixstowe's story begins long before container ships. A Roman fort once stood near the present-day Landguard peninsula, and the settlement takes its name from St Felix, the first Bishop of East Anglia. For much of its early life it was a quiet fishing hamlet.
The Victorian era transformed it into a fashionable seaside resort, complete with a grand pier, spa pavilion, and promenade hotels. In the 20th century the focus shifted to commerce: the Port of Felixstowe grew to become the United Kingdom's busiest container port, handling millions of TEUs each year. That dual identity — genteel resort and global trade gateway — still defines the town's character today.
Transport Links
The branch-line rail service from Felixstowe runs into Ipswich, which serves as the main interchange for trains to London Liverpool Street (around 70 minutes), Norwich, and Cambridge. First Eastern Counties buses also connect the town with Ipswich and Woodbridge.
By road, the A14 provides a fast dual-carriageway corridor west towards the A12 and the M25. Our taxi service fills the gaps that public transport leaves — particularly for airport runs to Stansted or Heathrow, where catching multiple connections by rail can be time-consuming.

Attractions & Amenities
Felixstowe's seafront is the heart of the town's leisure appeal. The recently refurbished pier stretches out over the shingle beach and houses family-friendly amusements, an arcade, and a café with sea views. A level promenade links the pier to the manicured Seafront Gardens, where subtropical planting thrives in the mild coastal microclimate.
Further south, Landguard Fort — an English Heritage site dating from the 16th century — guards the harbour entrance and offers guided tours, exhibitions, and sweeping views across the Orwell estuary towards Harwich. The adjacent Landguard Nature Reserve is a haven for birdwatchers, especially during spring and autumn migration. Back in town, a cluster of independent cafés, fish-and-chip shops, and art galleries gives the high street a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Seasonal events such as the Felixstowe Carnival and the town's popular book festival draw visitors from across Suffolk and beyond.
Car Parking
Seafront car parks stretch along the promenade and are pay-and-display during the busier months, with charges varying by zone. The town centre has additional off-street parking near Hamilton Road and Undercliff Road. Spaces fill quickly on warm weekends and during the summer holidays.
Choosing a taxi eliminates the search for a bay entirely — and saves on parking charges too. We'll collect you from your door and deliver you wherever you need to be.
