Landseer Park

Landseer Park is situated in the centre of a large housing estate to the east of Ipswich.  In the not to distant past there was a wonderful diverse mixture of habitats with mature trees, woodland, scrub, wet meadows, fen areas to streams and ponds, which covered the whole of the valley.  However, during the 1950’s and 1960’ much of the valley was in-filled with domestic refuse.  All that remains from that era now is the wooded area on the high ground between Clapgate Lane and Cliff Lane.

A large area of the park is undulating open regularly mown amenity grassland with large areas of herb rich grassland, acid grassland which has developed into a lovely mosaic of grassland types.  There are a number of scrub areas planted on the perimeter slopes some of which are maturing into wonderful habitats.
