Very pretty medieval wool town with great shops and sightseeing opportunities. Visit Melford Hall (National Trust), where Beatrix Potter used to visit. Kentwell Hall (privately owned) has fantastic re-enactment weekends - both Tudor and WW11, as well as the brilliant Scaresville around the time of Halloween. A visit to the beautiful medieval church at the top of the green is a must. Plenty of antique and art shops to visit.
