About the Business
Welcome to Proctor Estate, one of the magnificent estate properties in Ipswich, Massachusetts. Nestled at 240 County Rd, this picturesque location is a unique blend of natural beauty and history. While the main campus is privately owned by New England Biolabs, the surrounding lands are open to the public, offering a serene escape into diverse landscapes and rich wildlife.
Explore the southern trails, a harmonious mix of woodland, wetlands, and open fields, or venture to the northern trails featuring beautiful meadows and woodlands. Thanks to the dedication of the Essex County Trail Association (ECTA) and volunteers from New England Biolabs, the trails have been meticulously maintained and restored. Notably, the northern trail includes the Foster Crossing Trail, a tribute to Susan F. Foster, the beloved former assistant director of the New England Biolabs Foundation.
Visitors are encouraged to enjoy our free maps for a self-guided adventure through this enchanting estate. We kindly ask you to consider making a donation to support the efforts of ECTA in maintaining these trails.
To visit Proctor Estate, follow Rt. 1A south from Ipswich center. Stay on Rt. 1A when Rt. 133 forks to the left, and you will find the entrance shortly after on the left. Come and experience the tranquil beauty of Proctor Estate, a true gem of Ipswich.
Reviews
"The Procter Estate is a park seemingly without an entrance. I guess it is primarly designed for local walkers. You might think that you can gain access from the soccer parking lot, but you would be incorrect. Unless you're prepared to jump a fence and bushwack thru the pucker brush you need to walk back to 1A and travle down the sidewalk until you see the trailhead. Nice pastureland topograhpy with swans."
