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.

Managed by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust, locals say the view across Framlingham Mere to the castle is the best non coastal view in Suffolk. It is a glorious place for an easy hike.
