Good coffee, cake and breakfasts. Lovely outside on a sunny day 👍🏻😎🚴🏻

Scenic little village green with a PO/shop and pub. Reputedly the place where the last Anglo-Saxon king of East Anglia, Edmund the Martyr, was killed by the Danes.

The food offer is full sit-down meals rather than sandwiches / toasties / sausage rolls etc. so maybe stick to coffee and cake, which is good. Open Wed-Sun.

Seating out the front is handy if you're stopping. Great pizzas. Open Wednesday-Sunday from 10am (12pm on Sunday).

Just south of Hoxne village is a stone cross, which allegedly marks the spot of the oak to which Edmund was tied. The memorial reads ‘St. Edmund the Martyr, AD 870. Oak Tree fell August 1848 by its own weight.

On the road from Hoxne to Cross Street lies Goldbrook Bridge, where Edmund is said to have hidden from the Danes. According to legend, a newly-wed couple spotted his spurs glistening in the moon (or sun) and, as the Danes dragged him away, he cried a curse on all bridal couples who should ever cross the bridge. Apparently until well into the 19th century, many local wedding parties would go the long way round rather than chance the curse.

The current watermill is the third to stand on this site. Built in 1846, it milled corn and was involved in flax and linen manufacture. For more information see the Norfolk Mills website https://www.norfolkmills.co.uk/Watermills/hoxne.html

Wingfield Castle is a 14th century fortified mansion. Now, as then, it is a private home. It was up for sale in the 1980s and was reportedly 'almost bought' by a number of celebrities, including Elton John. You can see the castle from the commonland to its west.
