Cambridge to Constable Country via

Lavenham

[Return to the index for Cambridge and East Anglia]

This route from Cambridge to Constable Country will take you through Lavenham, a
mediaeval village of half-timbered (and slightly wonky) houses which line the main
street. These days they are mostly cafes and antique shops.

Lavenham was the centre of the wool trade, unlike the rest of industrial Britain. It grew prosperous
on the backs of sheep and the fine buildings are a testament to those woolly riches.

You can also hop off the A road for a look around Bury St Edmunds, home to some of the
country’s finest and oldest buildings including the 16th Century St Edmundsbury Cathedral
(although a church has been on the site since the 11th Century), the ruins of the 11th C. Bury St
Edmunds Abbey, the 12th C St Mary’s Church and the Regency period Theatre Royal.

After exploring the many examples of medieval and Georgian architecture located throughout the
town, sample one of the locally brewed Greene King beers, perhaps in the (allegedly) smallest pub
in Britain, The Nutshell.
