Filming location for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1, representing the wizarding village of Godric's Hollow. De Vere House: Transformed into the dilapidated home of Harry Potter's parents, Lily and James Potter. https://www.deverehouse.co.uk/ Lavenham Guildhall: Also featured and served as a model for the house in the film

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

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

Site of BCQ204 from the British Cycle Quest

Nice little beer garden at the front overlooking the road.

Pretty bridge, but you are probably riding too quickly over it to notice!

Lovely inn (pub with rooms) serving real ales

Hours have extended a bit but still very limited - open until 1pm Thu-Sun but if you’re here after lunch or at the start of the week you’re out of luck. Definitely catering for the weekend morning club rides!

Open every day but closes for an hour at lunch and only a half day on Sundays.

Lovely setting up on the hill above the half-timbered village houses.

Presumably the other side of the roof has the other half of the flag? 🇬🇧🤔

From a distance I thought it was a huge flag but on closer view it’s an impressive union flag mural covering the end of the village hall with a CR III coronation crown mounted above. Only visible when heading northbound.

Picture postcard view across the valley to the spire of Great Finborough church on the horizon.

This is the three dimensional village sign of Rougham, where it is possible to see a large oak tree, a man and horse ploughing or a family of deers.

This church from the late medieval period is located a bit north of the village of Rougham, next to the school. In good condition, it was during the restoration in 1880 when the remains of a 13th-century church were uncovered.

Sorry - should read best bike shop !!!

Agree - the hedt bike shop in East Anglia - worth a detour - even a long one!!!

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

Beautiful village with a scenic market square, just south of which is Lifecycle UK, an independent specialist offering Colnago and other leading bike brands, custom builds, bike fits etc.
