Re: Bury St Edmunds

Eliza - Right next to the Greene King brewery is the Theatre Royal which is one of the oldest in Britain and has been recently restored to replicate how it looked in past centuries. They have a wide variety of productions but on a day trip you'll likely not have time.

The Cathedral and associated gardens are nice to walk around.

Some of the streets leading of the town centre are very old and include some thatched roof houses.

The town centre is busy on market days (Wed. & Sat.)

The town has expanded rapidly in the last 20 years, it was once just a centre for the farmers to trade their produce but that has mainly gone now.

Not a lot else to say about it

Re: Bury St Edmunds

Losos you have given me more than i could ask for , i like old buildings the most and you said there is some so i can look forward to that. Its a Thursday im going on , so looks like i shall miss the market,
I think between the Cathedral,Park,brewery museum and looking at the old theatre and buildings my day will be full .

Re: Bury St Edmunds

You could pop in to see my friend!

Last time I was there when I stayed o/n to see her I kept getting lost, and drove on the same roads and streets many times! Don't think I had satnav at the time. I now refuse to go anywhere near BSE in a car!
