Old Church

This beautiful cathedral was originally built as a church in the early 13th century and became a cathedral for the newly established Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich in 1914. It has some beautiful characteristics including a large rose window, detailed stone carvings, fantastic gardens and the notable Abbey Gate.

Although the current building dates back to the 15th century, originally this church was built four centuries earlier. Noteworthy are its colorful hassocks and its Tudor-style porch.

Although it's commonly known as St Edmundsbury Cathedral, its formal name is actually the Cathedral Church of St James and St Edmund. It has its origins in the 11th century but evolved over time, undergoing reconstruction in the 12th and 16th centuries as a parish church before ultimately becoming a cathedral in 1914. In recent decades, it has continued to expand.

This wood is ideal if you enjoy peaceful running surrounded by nature and well-defined trails. It's a woodland dominated by mature pines and oaks, but also features recently planted conifers. Around you will also find Dale Pond – if you're a fan of dragonflies, this is your spot. There's a 2.5 miles circuit called the Yellow Walk, which starts and ends at the car park.
