Shut at the moment pending a new lesee

Excellent artisan coffee and tasty cakes. Cycle-friendly, with open level access and outdoor seating. The cycle rail is a bit high off the ground though: my bike was swinging in the wind!

The Grade I-listed Norman Bungay Castle became the seat of the Bigod family, allies of King William during the conquest of 1066. The Bigods were charismatic leaders among the barons and oversaw the construction of the keep in the latter half of the 12th century. Today, Bungay Castle is an impressive ruin, with its two huge gate towers still intact. However, throughout 2023, the castle was closed for restorations.

Occupying an enviable spot on Rockland Staithe, the New Inn is a traditional country pub. It serves great food and drink, perfect for a refuel after exploring Rockland Broad and the trails along the River Yare. The 38-mile (61 km) Wherryman's Way long-distance trail passes right by the door too.

Narrow and twisty lanes to reach it but a lovely location, right on the water. The climb eastwards up to Bramerton is short but surprisingly sharp, hitting over 10%.

First class cafe stop using the old silo https://bungay-suffolk.co.uk/directory/etude-coffee-the-silo/

The castle is closed for all of 2023 for refurbishment and repairs https://bungay-suffolk.co.uk/to-do/castle/

Originally built in 1958 as a grain silo, and decommissioned in 2016, this imposing building now takes on a new lease of life. On the Norfolk-Suffolk border, overlooking the beautiful Waveney Valley, just outside Bungay. A tall building standing proudly boasting some of the best views in Suffolk… Etude Coffee is now the most unique coffee shop in the Waveney Valley. Serving specialty coffees and teas and soft drinks and sweet and savory pastries and cakes provided by The Black Dog Deli. Great friendly staff in a very open yet industrial space, what's not to like. Opening hours: Thursday: 8am-2pm Friday: 8am-2pm Saturday: 9am-3pm Sundays: 9am-3pm

Brilliant little café. Different treats on display, as well as coffee. Lots of seating both inside and out.

Bungay Castle is a Grade I listed building. The site was originally a Norman castle built in about 1100 to take advantage of the natural protection provided by a curve in the River Waveney. The remains today of the castle include its keep, gatehouse, curtain wall and the remnants of the castle’s inner bailey wall. Open daily between 10am and 4pm, the castle can be visited via the visitor centre on the road known as Castle Orchard.

Fantastic location on the Water's Edge (the name might have given it away), serving upmarket meals. Currently open Wednesdays to Sundays (Sep '22).

The interior of this church looks rather modern, but St Peter has a lot of history on offer. Unusually the plain, low parapet on this tower has twelve sides to it! The round tower has been built with very clear courses of flints in its lower section, (perhaps 11th century), then a tall section of smaller flints, and the upper section with the belfry made of random flints. This top stage was probably rebuilt in the 15th century. Below the south-east nave window appears to be an early flint quoin, which perhaps marks the extent of the first 11th century church here. The whole church is supported by hefty buttresses, mostly made of red brick. The chancel dates from the 14th century, with curvilinear tracery in the east window, though this was replaced in the 19th century.

lovely spot for a bite to eat.

Closed all day Monday and Tuesday.

It's called the Water's Edge. The Ferry House, and Coldham Hall, both at Surlingham are good options too

Currently there is a lot of restoration going on so don't be disappointed if you cant get in to the castle itself,

The Tas valley around Shotesham and Stoke holy cross is pleasant cycling. Good walks around the area too. I often go this way then on to the pretty village of Brooke, then the small town of Loddon, after that I’m touring the Norfolk Broads. It’s a nice route and avoids main roads.

From the Staithe, there are several, waymarked circular walks that take in the Wherryman's Way and part of the National Cycle Network. There's ample free parking and a pub across the road for when you've finished.

can't remember name of the pub serve good food and drink with a nice place to sit

I didn't stop myself, but a pub with a beautiful setting next to the river.
