About

Western Felixstowe is situated inland from the Felixstowe docks and ferry terminal, containing primarily residential neighbourhoods. The area includes the housing estates around Grange Farm and the northern parts of Walton Avenue, characterised by a mix of post-war and more modern suburban housing. It functions largely as a commuter area for the port and local services.

The ward's landscape is marked by the flat, open farmland of the Felixstowe Peninsula to its west. A notable feature is the presence of the large, covered reservoir off Garrison Lane, which serves the town's water supply. The area is bordered by the railway line connecting to the port, with local amenities centred around the Grange Farm shopping parade.
