My wife and I stayed for three nights in Norfolk and Suffolk in September 2020 and, on the way, stopped in Framlingham to visit Framlingham Castle - Ed Sheeran's 'Castle on the Hill'. There was plenty of parking space so we found it easy to park our car. We were greeted by a very friendly lady who explained the things we could do and see. In line with Covid-19 restrictions, access to the ramparts, café and shop was strictly controlled with clear roped off areas for queuing for each one. We queued for the ramparts first and enjoyed our walk round these with their superb views of the surrounding countryside. The weather was very good and we sat and ate sandwiches that we had brought with us, having queued to buy teas in the café. It was lovely just to relax at socially distanced tables and to look round at the castle building. We visited the shop, again via a queue, before leaving to go on our way to our first night's stop. A lovely way to spend a couple of hours on a lovely, summer's day!

Firstly I must apologise for not writing this review earlier, Especially in these difficult times when all positive reviews are needed. On a mini break in Suffolk we drove past a sign for this vineyard and decided to pop in, what a wonderful surprise we got with a warm welcome from the owner with a map in hand to show us round the vines. It was a beautiful sunny day in September, After we walked round the vines, tasting some of the grapes ripe and ready for the wine making. At the front there are small tables with parasols to sit at for tastings. There was absolutely no hard sell and the amount of wines he gave us to taste were more than generous. We could have easily walked out without buying but any of the wines were vegan and delicious. Thank you for your hospitality and I do hope you go from strength to strength in these difficult times I forgot to mention that there was absolutely nothing to pay for walking round or for the tasters.

St Michael’s is the parish church for Framlingham, and we have close links to All Saints Saxtead, an adjoining parish,north west of our small historic market town. The two parishes have historical links dating back to medieval times and have been a combined benefice under the patronage of Pembroke College, Cambridge since the college was given the lands and the patronage of the living by Sir Robert Hitcham in the 17th century. We are an open & welcoming community. The church is normally open from 9am-4pm. There is a mix of services on Sundays please see our website for details. On the second Sunday there is Parish Communion with Junior Church.

Incredibably important part of English and British history here. Jaw dropping to think that that a small twist of fate and it could be here lies an English king and England would look very differently indeed. Beautiful architecture with the most fantastic organ. Thank you for being open during these difficult times. My daughter bought a few of the lovely pot plants on the way out

7. The Lanman Museum
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 16 reviews
The Lanman Museum is a museum of local history housed inside Framlingham Castle. It is an independent museum run by volunteers based on the collection of the late Harold Lanman. There are some fascinating artefacts representing all activities in the area, particularly relating to the end of the 18th and early 20th century, including education, entertainment and farming. The case of artefacts relating to Sir Henry Thompson is of particular interest with gifts of Faberge from the Royal family for medical services rendered as well as from other aspects of his broad range of interests (founding father of the Cremation Society, exhibitor at the Royal Academy, writer and early adopter of the motor car). Overall it presents an interesting view of a life style that has now gone.
