Home All Counties Suffolk

This historic Suffolk town has a lot to offer, make sure you don’t miss out.

Framlingham Castle

Framlingham Castle towers over the town like a statue on guard protecting its people. This 12thcentury spectacular was where Mary Tudor was proclaimed Queen of England and was once a fierce fortress which warned off even the most fearless attacker. Entry costs £9.50 for adults and £5.60 for children under the age of 17. The castle is open for tours between 10am and 5pm, seven days a week. Don’t miss Gothic Falconry on 20-21 October and Spooky Stories during half term week from 22-28 October. www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/framlingham-castle/prices-and-opening-times.

Framlingham Town Trail

Why not follow the town trail and uncover the history of Framlingham? Much of its history is easily missed, hidden in historic nooks of the town, as a result the council created the town trail; a circular walk marked out by metal guide posts and an audio guide is also available. Visit Framlingham.com/framlingham-town-trail/to download the town trail map and guide.
