Essex 10 min drive - Best Fried Seafood EVER ... Jen & I always share fisherman's combo (w/ onion rings ... no fries). What we do is bring our own beer (usually big can of Sapporo or Foster's) and park in Green Belt park next door to enjoy the amazing view of the Essex marshland estuary. It ain't cheap ... but it's really yummy! Overlooks picturesque sea marsh

Once known as the Common Settlement, Dogtown is divided btwn Gloucester & Rockport. Settled in 1693 Dogtown got its name from dogs that women kept while their husbands were fighting during American Revolution. Protected from pirates and enemy natives, Dogtown was used as common land for wood & pasturing cattle/sheep. In the mid-1700s, a 100 families inhabited Dogtown after the American Revolution.
Some of its last occupants were suspected of practicing witchcraft. (Thomazine "Tammy" Younger was described as "Queen of the Witches" by Thomas Dresser) Dogtown became abandoned. Today walking through Dogtown can evoke memories of old. But beware of getting lost among its wayward trails.

Absolutely Iconic Stunning Ol' New England estate. Just to walk the grounds will drop your jaw! If you enjoy that Downton Abbey thing of impressive grand scale 19th century construction, places like Castle Hill are becoming endangered species with property values converting old architecture into condo complexes. None of that new world nonsense exists here! http://www.thetrustees.org/crane-estate/the-great-house/?referrer=https://www.google.com/ Great for families or a romantic journey into the past! Crane's beach is nearby as well Appleton Farm & Russell Orchard. Good restaurants in Ipswich include: Ithaki (Greek) & Choate Bridge Pub (delicious fried clams). [15 min drive from 32 West)
