Bungay is a vibrant and charming market town, situated in a loop of the River Waveney. The town is steeped in rich history and displays a Saxon church, remains of a Norman castle, Roman well and a Benedictine priory. The town is primarily built around the castle on a hill partially surrounded by the River Waveney. The famous Buttercross was rebuilt after the Great Fire in 1688, which in earlier times was used as a prison with a dungeon, now it is used to hold weekly markets.
The town boasts various attractions in the surrounding area including the Bungay Museum, St Peter’s Brewery, The Otter Trust and the Norfolk & Suffolk Aviation Museum. Whilst exploring this bustling old town, there is a wide range of shops to tempt you including antiques, crafts and every day items. There is also a good selection of cafes, restaurants, tearooms and pubs.
