Framlingham is a great castle to discover and has a fantastic story to tell as well as having a song written about it by Ed Sheeran in 2017 featuring its part in his upbringing. It was successfully besieged by King John and was Mary Tudor's refuge in the succession crisis. It is surrounded by beautiful parkland that was once the hunting ground of the dukes of Norfolk and has a great wall walk that enables visitors to wander three quarters of the length of the surrounding walls in safety. It has a small informative museum and a cafe which offers a good range of hot and cold seasonal meals, baguettes as well as choice of delicious cakes, snacks and offers a good quality coffee.
