A day out in Framlingham! Taking in the market area and shops. The Castle is a must to visit, you can listen to the tour and go round at your own pace, which is excellent with children. Take a walk around the mere (we advise taking wellies in winter or if it’s been raining!). Peruse the little boutiques and cafes and enjoy people watching on the market square. Lovely town made famous by Ed Sheeran's Castle on The Hill song.
