The attractive market town of Framlingham is dominated by a
Norman castle which was the seat of the Earls and Dukes of
Norfolk.
The Mere alongside the castle is managed by Suffolk Wildlife
Trust and a circular footpath enables visitors to appreciate the
abundance of wild flowers and wildlife. The Town Trail is a great
way of finding out more about the town’s history and interesting
buildings.
The Market Hill contains a number of different period houses and
the town has a selection of restaurants, pubs and cafes to suit a
range of budgets and tastes.
In recent years, Country Life magazine has voted Framlingham the
number one place to live in the country.
The award winning Shawsgate Vineyard nearby offers winetasting,
tours and a childrens play area with a retail outlet selling their
wide range of wines, ciders and non-alcoholic grape juices.
