Framlingham ... at the heart of the Suffolk countryside

SpeakerListen to the text on this page

Framlingham Castle

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 Framlingham street scenehistory 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.
