Location

Lavenham is considered to be England's most well-preserved medieval town. With its winding streets, timber-framed buildings and quaint cottages, it is also Suffolk's prettiest wool town and is ideally located to explore the beautiful Suffolk countryside. At the centre is the magnificent Guildhall of Corpus Christi, a reminder of the town's wealth during the height of the wool trade. Nearby are buildings of similar beauty including the pretty Little Hall, a curious museum whose interior and artefacts mirror Lavenham's own history, and the grandiose Church of St Peter and St Paul. This remarkable small town has a useful range of shops including a butcher, post office, pharmacy, bakery, traditional grocer's store and two co-ops. Visitors dining in Lavenham are spoilt for choice with the The Angel Inn and many others.
