Lavenham is one of England’s best-preserved medieval villages, with a fabulous collection of timber-framed buildings lining its narrow streets. The village hosts a popular farmers’ market every month, and also has some delightful independent shops, boutiques, and galleries to potter around. Learn all about the village’s fascinating history at the museum in the Guild Hall, before joining one of the many scenic walking trails that branch away from the village. From Lavenham it’s easy to enjoy a day trip to Bury St Edmunds (12 miles) and Constable Country (15 miles).
