Old, convivial, well kept beer

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.

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.

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.

Set amidst expansive parkland and a charming lake, Framlingham Castle has witnessed fascinating periods of history. The castle is managed by English Heritage and is well worth a visit. Even if you don't stop by, you can admire the views from the roadside – it's a very impressive sight!

The castle that Ed Sheeran sings about (he's from here) 😂

A spectacular place which sums up everything you might imagine about an English castle. It was built in the 12th century and was where Mary Tudor was proclaimed the Queen of England. It is in the care of English Heritage and you can wonder at the amazing views from the outside for free or pay to go inside.
