Named by the Sunday Times as one of the best places to live in the UK 2018, Bungay has tremendous appeal, whether you’re interested in history, food and drink, vintage finds or simple relaxation.
Don’t miss: Walking the two town trails, starting at Buttercross. Clambering up the Norman Castle ruins. The Country Market, every Thursday in the new Bungay Community Centre. Passing through the Kissing Gate onto Falcon Meadow. Popping into Earsham Street Deli to pick up a picnic. Filling up with milk at Fen Farm Dairy from the UK’s first raw milk vending machine. Browsing the antique shops. A performance at Fishers’ Theatre. A guided tour of Flint Vineyard, following by their 15 mile lunch. Traditional afternoon tea in Old Bank Tearooms. Did you know: The cobbled area known as Cork Bricks was created by a wealthy town owner so that his sick wife wouldn’t be disturbed by the sound of the horses’ hooves across the cobblestones!
FEN FARM DAIRY
A quirky cow-print shed at the farm gate, featuring vending machines brimming with sustainable dairy products made right there on the farm. Get the finest artisan cheeses, free range meats, local sourdough, pastries and raw milk coffees.
In a few short years, Fen Farm products have taken the UK food scene by storm. Their Baron Bigod cheese has become a beloved menu staple of top chefs and is known to frequently grace the tables of Royalty.
Fen Farm Dairy is an innovative 3rd generation dairy farm, aiming to set the standard for dairy sustainability. The majority of the farm and cheesemaking facilities are powered by renewable energy, including a cow poo heat exchange system and solar power. Visitors can often see the farm’s herd of happy red and white Montbeliarde cows grazing the surrounding marshland of the Waveney River Valley. Open 24/7 and the vending machines accept contactless payment.
