Set in the delightful Gipping Valley, Stowmarket is an historic market town lying on the River Gipping which joins the Orwell estuary at Ipswich. The Gipping was made into a canal in 1793 and the old towpath now runs through the Gipping Valley from Stowmarket railway station to the docks at Ipswich.
In 1347 the town was granted a market charter by Edward III and this tradition still exists with a twice weekly market on a Thursday and Saturday selling a range of locally produced goods.
