Bury St Edmunds

Bury St Edmunds is a charming market town in Suffolk, England. It is on the rail line between Ipswich and Cambridge.

Bury St Edmunds, the historic home of St Edmund, the first patron saint of England who was martyred by the Vikings, is the food-loving capital of Suffolk. It’s also been voted one of the most dog-friendly towns in the UK.

Take a tour with the official guides and enjoy the cathedral and Abbey Gardens, the Regency Theatre Royal, The Angel Hotel where Charles Dickens stayed and an eclectic mix of architecture from medieval times to Georgian.
