Framlingham Castle





When the sun shines on Suffolk its a great place to be and in particular a visit to Framlingham Castle is well worth the journey.

From the beginning of April to the end of September the Castle is open to visitors - 10.00am. to 6.00pm.  Access to the castle is free to members of English Heritage otherwise there is a charge.

Every so often there is an organised and themed event at Framlingham Castle. On our last visit English Heritage staged displays by 'Men at Arms'.

Our grandchildren really enjoyed the knights in armour bashing each other with a variety of swords, pikes and daggers.  As our Felix rightly pointed out. "Papa, that knight just knifed him up the straps".

When we visit the Castle we have lunch at the Castle Inn.  Nothing fancy, but excellent value for money, great beer and tasty home cooked food provided by friendly staff and landlord. Children are made welcome and being right next to the Castle car park, there is no long walk when they are tired and hungry after running around the the castle grounds.
