This day trip has been and gone, but don't worry, we've got lots more Great Days Out to choose from.

Spend a summers’ day in two pretty market towns on our multi stop tour of Suffolk. 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. 1000 years ago Bury was a wealthy pilgrimage location as visitors flocked to the Abbey of St Edmund. The Abbey ruins (managed by English Heritage) and the 14 acre, award-winning Abbey Gardens remain just as popular with visitors to this day, and best of all, they’re free to enter.

Lavenham is considered Britain’s best preserved medieval village with over 300 listed buildings. The colouful timber framed homes and shops that line the narrow streets are a pretty reminder of the town's rich Tudor past. Once an important wool town, you’ll now find it thriving with independent boutiques, renowned restaurants and plenty of cafés and pubs to choose from. We recommend picking up a complimentary walking map (available from most outlets in the village) and taking yourself on a tour of this wonky village.

We’re due to arrive in Bury at 11:00 with three hours to enjoy the market surroundings. Then on to Lavenham where we’re due to arrive at 14:30 and depart at 17:00. We’ll set down in Angel Square in Bury and at Lavenham’s coach park so you’ll be in central locations ready to explore.
