Walk in the footsteps of powerful monarchs like Henry VIII, who used the Tower as both a symbol of strength and a place of imprisonment, and Elizabeth I, who was famously held here before becoming queen.

After some free time in Ipswich we head to Jimmys Farm.

Last year, Jimmy’s Farm near Ipswich rescued a polar bear from a zoo in Sweden that unfortunately had to close. Ewa was rescued from Orsa Rovdjurspark which closed in November 2022. The team at Jimmy’s have worked closely with experts in polar bear care and behaviour and have created her a new home which meets the highest standards for her welfare.

Two more polar bears have recently joined the popular wildlife park as part of a programme to conserve the threatened species. Flocke, age 16, and Tala, age four, have joined Jimmy’s Farm and Wildlife Park. The pair join rescued polar bear, Ewa, who was saved in October 2023 from a disbanded zoo in Sweden.

Putting that aside, you can also have a wander through the beautiful grounds to see 100 species and breeds from capybara to crocodiles, pigs to pelicans and even monkeys. During your visit, you may also wish to visit the farm shop, restaurant and coffee shop.
