English Heritage

Discover the stories of medieval aristocrats, a Tudor queen and Georgian poorhouse children at Framlingham Castle. 

Follow the wall-top walk round Framlingham’s defences and you can see 800 years of history from above. There are helpful panels with info about the castle’s surroundings – the pretty market town, the castle’s outer earthworks and the Mere. Don’t forget to look up at the tall Tudor chimneys which crown some of the towers! Each one has a different brick design.  

Visit, and you can explore the exhibition tracing the castle’s intriguing stories. There’s also a free audio guide, and families can get hands-on with costumes and interactive games.
