Surrounded on all sides by some of Suffolk’s prettiest countryside, Lavenham’s holiday cottages offer the perfect blend of nature and history. Visitors can enjoy local walks which end in a pub, can enjoy countless tours which speak to the history of the village, and can even find out which hotspots in Lavenham were used as sets in the Harry Potter movies!
An Introduction to Lavenham
Pastel colours, wonky windows, and ornate structures line the streets of Lavenham. Its selection of traditional and independent stores makes walking up and down its small high street a charming experience, while the path up to and around the church is made all the more impressive by the swathes of countryside and the charm of the church bells.
Because Lavenham is well positioned with regards to transport in and out of Suffolk, it is regarded as an ideal day trip or a place around which to base your Suffolk stay. So, what should you look out for when visiting Lavenham?
Exploring Lavenham’s History
Considered the best-preserved medieval town in England, Lavenham opens itself to historical tours and sightseers all year round.
Once a wool town, and notably one of the wealthiest settlements in England during the Medieval period, Lavenham retains its historical prominence and interest because of its look – and the simple fact that not much has changed around the village for hundreds of years. Despite the arrival of new businesses and independent shops, Lavenham still runs a traditional award winning butcher shop and a bakery, and hosts tours across its splendid and extravagant church sites.
Many of the structures around Lavenham appear as they did decades ago, with the Guildhall and Little Hall attracting particular interest. And for those who aren’t as into history, or who want a break from the chocolate box aesthetic of this parish village, countless footpaths and walkways run through and surround Lavenham, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in the beauty of Suffolk’s wider countryside.
