Southwold
To many, the distinctive charm of Southwold stems from the haphazard grouping of houses of differing architectural designs, some characteristic of Dutch and Flemish influence, resulting in a unique blend. To Others, the famous Greens (each with its own particular character) embellish the town like scatter cushions, delighting the eye at the turn of a corner. Most of the Greens came about as a result of the Great Fire of 1659 which destroyed many buildings, never to be replaced.
St. Edmundsbury
St Edmundsbury is, in essence, a mediaeval town which grew up around the gates of the great Benedictine monastery founded in 1020 AD. Bury was a prosperous market town with a thriving clothmaking industry. St Mary's Church was built in the 15th century and it is here that Mary Tudor, sister of Henry VIII, is buried. Many mediaeval buildings such as the Guildhall still survive, but most are hidden behind elegant 17th and 18th century facades. Daniel Defoe described Bury St Edmunds as "a town famed for its pleasant situation and wholesome air, the Montpelier of Suffolk and perhaps of England".
