Bury is not only known as the ‘Jewel in the Crown of Suffolk’ but also as ‘Suffolk’s Foodie Town’. In addition to the stores that line the medieval streets and Georgian squares you’ll find that Wednesday is market day with a wonderful choice of seasonal local produce but also a quality selection of food and drink from around the world. Start planning your time here with Visit Bury St Edmunds.

1000 years ago Bury St. Edmunds was a wealthy pilgrimage location as visitors flocked to the Abbey of St Edmund, founded in 1020. The Abbey ruins and the 14 acre, award-winning Abbey Gardens remain just as popular with visitors to this day. This fascinating site is looked after by English Heritage with free entry for all.

The Bury Society have produced an interesting self-guided trail that offers a wonderful way of seeing the town whilst walking through history. Download the Blue Plaques Trail and find out where Charles Dickens twice stayed in this "handsome little town of thriving and cleanly appearance" (described in his own words).

We’re due to arrive in Bury at 12:00 and depart at 16:45, setting down and picking up on Angel Hill.
