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.

The approach from the north is fine, on good tarmac. On the south side of the underpass the route towards Bury is narrow with spiky brambles trailing across the path, like police tyre stingers, and then a section of gravel. Ok for a couple of riders happy to pick their way along but groups would be better avoiding.

Lovely setting, in a converted farm building by a small lake next to a caravan/motorhome campsite. 50m off the main road down a smooth and level gravel driveway. Indoor seating or outdoor picnic tables by the lake. Open 9.30am-4pm, Tue-Sat.

Archetypal Suffolk village, with scenic cottages standing around the large green.

A good way to cross the A14
