Framlingham


Framlingham is a picturesque castle market town set in the beautiful Suffolk countryside. It was once the capital of East Anglia. The castle, which dominates the town, is 12th century and is by and large in good order. It was here that Mary Tudor heard she had become Queen of England. Visitors can walk around the battlements, which give a wonderful view over the countryside and the mere. Concerts and re-enactments take place usually from May to September. The town has many interesting shops with quaint buildings dating from the 17th 18th and 19th century, the best examples are on Market Hill. The 15th-century Church of St Michael is of considerable importance and contains the tomb of the Howards, an historically powerful family in English history. Framlingham is an excellent base for exploring the unspoilt part of Suffolk, with country lanes that are ideal for walking and cycling. Source: Visit Britain
