With a rich maritime history, Suffolk has long been renowned for shipbuilding, fishing and sailing. Today, the port of Felixstowe in Suffolk is the UK’s largest port, handling almost half of Britain’s containerised trade. The county has also taken to using shipping containers for more than just shipping in recent times.
Inspired by the ‘box park’ trend, Felixstowe in Suffolk has created ‘Beach Street’, a unique dining and shopping destination created with the county’s own upcycled shipping containers. Visitors to the county can also find shipping container cafes, restaurants and pop-up shops.
