Framlingham Castle
Framlingham Castle
A fearsome fortress
Muster your courage and explore Framlingham Castle's towering walls behind which Mary Tudor took refuge.
Discover Framlingham Castle's vast and colourful past as it became home to some of the most powerful people in Tudor England, an Elizabethan prison for the troubled, and a sanctuary for the poor in the 17th century.
Get hands-on with our interactive exhibition and reveal Framlingham's stories. Embark on a journey of discovery around the magnificent wall walk; look down if you dare!
Don't Miss
- The wall walk with its spectacular views of Framlingham mere and the surrounding countryside
- The opportunity to count our chimneys (the oldest surviving 12th century and Tudor chimneys in the country!)
- Our audio guide - two tours in one guide: informative for adults and topsy turvy for children!
- The lawn inside the castle walls - the perfect place to play knights or just relax
Enjoy our 360 degree panoramic view from the walls of Framlingham!
