The village of Earsham nestles within a meander of the River Waveney, to the west of the market town of Bungay. Its historic Queen's Head pub operated as a coaching inn in the mid-19th century and is still going today, with a range of real ales, ciders and craft beers. The Angles Way long-distance trail passes through the village.

With its fine 14th-century tower and impressive spire, All Saints Church is a pretty sight on the edge of Earsham. Two named trails pass the church: Bigod's Way, a 5.5-mile (9 km) loop from Bungay; and the Angles Way, a long-distance trail that follows the River Waveney from the sea at Great Yarmouth to its source, before tracing the Little Ouse to Thetford.

Bridge Street is a pretty and colourful little street that leads from the heart of Bungay to the River Waveney. The characterful Chequers Inn is one of the oldest buildings in the town and dates from the 17th century. The pub serves good local ale and has a beer garden.

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.

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

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.

Great spot for watching the wildfowl when the water skiers aren't using the lakes
