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.
In 2006, Country Life magazine voted Framlingham the number one
place to live in the country. In 2005 it was runner up in the
contest to find England's favourite market town.
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.
The award winning farm attraction, Easton Farm Park, offers a
unique experience for children with the chance to hug-a-bunny, feed
the goats or take a horse and carriage ride with one of the Suffolk
Punch horses.
