September 13, 2024, Lance’s Flat Filming Location

For fans of the BBC comedy, Framlingham was the filming location for many scenes, including Lance’s flat. Mags’ shop is in the Market square and the pub is the Castle Inn.

Set amidst expansive parkland and a charming lake, Framlingham Castle has witnessed fascinating periods of history. The castle is managed by English Heritage and is well worth a visit. Even if you don't stop by, you can admire the views from the roadside – it's a very impressive sight!

A spectacular place which sums up everything you might imagine about an English castle. It was built in the 12th century and was where Mary Tudor was proclaimed the Queen of England. It is in the care of English Heritage and you can wonder at the amazing views from the outside for free or pay to go inside.

Managed by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust, locals say the view across Framlingham Mere to the castle is the best non coastal view in Suffolk. It is a glorious place for an easy hike.

Best Coffee & Cake stop in the area, indoor & outdoor seating. I always stop for a bath bun!

You can’t go into or around the castle with road bikes but you can go as far as the entrance with its impressive walls.
