Those crazy people who like to dress up in medieval clothes and beat each other up with swords, hammers and shields on a wet and cold May day for the entertainment of a wet and cold public deserve a medal. More

£6.50 for a single adult ticket - to see basically not a lot, though you can climb up and walk round the top of the walls. It is a total ruin! More

Once more, hats off to staff and volunteers at this attraction. The town is interesting, too. Lots of history here and at Orford - do one in the morning and one in the afternoon. More

Framlingham Castle is located just a couple of minutes walk from the main street and is superbly located with excelent views across the river to Fram College.

There is also a history museum of the town of Framlingham inside the building. Great views of the countryside from the wall walk. Just a short walk from the town... More
