Exceptionally well-preserved medieval architecture, unique timber-framed buildings, and rich history as a wealthy wool town. Visitors can explore historic sites like the Lavenham Guildhall and Little Hall. There over 340 grade listed buildings

Great little stop off point. Great food and lovely beer garden.

A real feeling of history as you walk through the village.

Site of BCQ204 from the British Cycle Quest

lovely small wood worth the little detour

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

Only 30m of elevation but steep, hitting double digit gradients. Great for a quick hill climb test, or a fast run down into the village before the road rises up as it reaches the green.

(2023) old rickety bench has now been replaced by sturdy new bench.

Oft overlooked for the much bigger Lavenham, just down the road, Brent Eleigh is a pretty little village with plenty of history. There is a cafe, Cafe Como, and a pub, The Cock Inn. It makes for a good destination on a circular walk from Lavenham.

Full of history and character, Lavenham just calls out to be explored. It is a wonderfully well preserved medieval village and in its heyday was once of the 20 most wealthiest in the country. Evidence of this is clear throughout the village. There are lots of places to stop to eat and drink or to stay if you are looking for a few days away in Suffolk.

One of England's finest medieval towns. It is noted for its splendid 15th Century timber framed Guildhall. There is also good selection of cafes available, to pick up some refreshments

The 16th-century Kentwell Hall is a stately home in Long Melford and one of the finest moated Tudor Houses in the country. Surrounded by beautiful parkland and gardens, it's a wonderful sight to behold. The hall has been used many times for film and television and also hosts weddings, historical re-enactments and other events. It’s open to the public all year round, though you’ll need to buy a ticket to enter.

The cathedral-esque Holy Trinity Church in Long Melford is a sight to behold. Grade I-listed, it was funded by the region's prosperous wool trade and built between 1467 and 1497 in the late Perpendicular Gothic style. Thought by many to be one of the finest religious buildings in the country, a visit is a must when hiking in the area.

The descent from the market square outside the guildhall down scenic Prentice Street is steep, fast and great fun but ends at a T-junction so be ready to brake hard!

One of Suffolk’s great wool churches on the edge of the quintessential Suffolk village.

The Parlour is the place to go for an ice cream on a warm day, can’t be beaten!

Gets slightly overgrown after this point! Boots are a must

Very pretty town, does get busy

Beautiful but very, very busy. Few places to sit and watch the world go by.
