Bury St Edmunds

Bury St Edmunds is a historic market town in the county of Suffolk, England and formerly the county town of West Suffolk. It is the main town in the borough of St Edmundsbury and known for the ruined abbey near the town centre. The town is known for brewing (with the large Greene King brewery) and for a British Sugar processing factory.

Bury is famous for its floral displays, and in recent years has one many awards for these, including the prestigious 'Nations in Bloom', contested by towns and cities worldwide. The Tourist Information Centre is on Angel Hill and all the staff are incredibly kind and helpful.

Thought not a very large town, bury would make an excellent destination for either a day trip or a relaxing weekend/short break. It would also make a good base for the exploration of more of East Anglia as part of a longer holiday; it is withing easy driving range of many interesting towns and places such as Cambridge, Norwich, the Suffolk and Norfolk coastlines, Lavenham, Long Melford, and many others besides.

With the leisure centre, Cinema and bowling alley just on the edge of town there's entertainment for all the family. If you are without children, walk aroyund the historic town, visit the abbey gardens for a walk and picnic or go a little further out of town and find many well kept parks with wildlife and gorgeous long walks.
