time to explore!

The centre of Bungay is relatively compact and at its heart you’ll find the Buttercross, home to the Thursday market. From here, pretty streets lead off in all directions, most notably Bridge St with its brightly-painted stucco houses. Have your purse at the ready as you wander down Earsham St, as every shop is as tempting as the next: you could fill your bags with ingredients for breakfast, lunch and dinner, flowers for the house and much more besides! Be warned, you will not come out empty handed from the Front Room bakery or Earsham St Deli!

Take time to step into Cork Bricks which is so named because of the fascinating tale of one 19th century resident, Frederick Smith who, when his wife Katherine fell ill and was so disturbed by the clattering of horses, carriages, and carts over the cobblestones, was impelled to cover the road surface with cork bricks to muffle their sounds, thus ensuring that she was able to recuperate, untroubled.

If you fancy a stroll, wander out to Outney Common where, if you’re lucky, you might spot a kingfisher or an otter, or to Falcon Meadow to take in the views. If it’s a hike you’re after, The Bigod Way is a 10-mile circular walk that follows the river valley to Earsham, then ascends the historic Bath Hills, before joining the Angles Way and then dropping back to Fishers Theatre
