Very imposing building with some interesting carvings on the timbers.

For a view of the castle turn up Castle Hill lane off the main village road to reach the car park. The castle itself is best accessed without road cleats on.

Eye Castle is one of the few surviving motte-and-bailey castles from the early Norman period. Built shortly after the Norman conquest of England in 1066, the castle was sacked and largely destroyed in 1265. Nowadays, the castle offers a more tranquil and interesting place to visit. The castle site has recently been restored, opening up new areas to explore and providing a viewing platform offering wonderful views of the church, Eye and surrounding countryside for miles around. The castle is open daily from Easter until the end of October. During the winter it is open on weekends only, subject to weather conditions. There is no entry fee. Accessible through a gate in Castle Hill, off Castle Street.

Eye Vicarage is a fantastic building thought to date from the 1450's. It is built around a timber frame, with a Georgian southern facade and later re-modelled in the Victorian era.

Just Another Suffolk Village. Nice enough but nothing special.

Pleasant but unexceptional Suffolk village. Just spin your wheels through it.

Incredible building thought to date from the 1450's, built around a timber frame, with a Georgian southern facade and re-modelled in the Victorian era.

This small patch of lowland heath makes a dramatic change to the nearby Waveney Valley and its water meadows. Just south-west of the market town of Diss, rambling around this beautiful open access land is extremely pleasant and the Angles Way long-distance footpath cuts right through it. Keep an eye out for the heath’s resident wildlife, from its green woodpeckers and large rabbit population to the secretive adder which can sometimes be seen sunbathing in a coil. Yellow hammers also forage here and the plantlife, from lichens to sorrel, is just as varied.
