Suffolk Countryside Road

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

Quintessential Suffolk: wide, rolling views, and pig farms. An avenue of trees has just been planted along the road so come back in a couple of decades to see the change.

Tip by

17.5 km

This reconstruction of an Anglo-Saxon village really allows you to step back in time. The historically-accurate buildings are situated on the site of an early Anglo-Saxon village and are surrounded by 125 acres of unspoilt countryside. There are also indoor displays where you can observe artifacts found in the area. Entry costs £6 for adults, £3 for children (5-16), £4 for concessions, and £16 for families. For more information, visit: weststow.org/Anglo-Saxon-Village.

Corn Exchange

Bury St. Edmunds Corn Exchange has been a real landmark building since it opened in 1862. It is now the site of a Wetherspoons pub. The building was refurbished ensuring that the majority of original features remained intact, at least on the exterior!

The Angel Hotel, a Georgian building on Angel Hill, was used by Charles Dickens while giving readings in the nearby Athenaeum and mentioned in The Pickwick Papers.
