| | | Lavenham certainly lives up to its image as the prettiest small town in Suffolk. |
| Its roots are deep within the wool industry of the 15th century and the town was a popular centre for the merchants of those days. |
| The town is a fascinating collection of timber framed houses, with a beautiful church and a spectacular Guildhall thrown in for good measure. |
The Guildhall of Corpus Christi is now a National Trust museum and also
has a picturesque garden which is open in the summer. |
| The streets are well worth wandering around but go off the main street and check out some off the beaten track, where the homes of the prosperous wool merchants nestle beside simple cottages. |
The town offers an audio tour, which can be picked up at the local
pharmacy, which allows you to wander around the town at your leisure, learning about a town often described as the most complete medieval town in Britain. |
| For something different the annual Lavenham Rare Breeds Motor Show held every August shows off some of the most unusual cars in the world. |
