Sudbury: a Suffolk market town

Sudbury is  a lovely town to visit for its small shops, tearooms, restaurants, pubs, beautiful old buildings, hidden lanes, and the River Stour.

It has a long and interesting history it was associated with the Suffolk wool trade in the Medieval period, it was the home of the artist Thomas Gainsborough in the eighteenth and then it welcomed thousands of men from the American airbases that were built in the nearby villages during the Second World War.

There are many lovely walks around the town, including along the old railway line and the River Stour, and there are many hidden lanes and footpaths to explore.

Sudbury is also home to Gainsborough House, which is the national centre for Thomas Gainsborough.

You can also go on a trip along the River Stour with the River Stour Trust – a lovely way to spend a summers afternoon.

With all these attractions, Sudbury is a great town to visit for groups of all kinds.
