A Pocket Guide to<br />
Saxmundham<br />
Written by Suzanne Archer<br />
Saxmundham is a beautiful market town<br />
located in the heart of Suffolk. A bustling<br />
town with access via road and railway, it is<br />
a great place to visit, be it for a day trip or<br />
weekend getaway. It’s the perfect location for<br />
exploring rural Suffolk.<br />
Having once hosted the Suffolk Show, it is also the place<br />
to find out about times gone by in the county with its<br />
local museum. The museum works to record and preserve<br />
the history of the town and the IP17 area. Discover its<br />
past with an interactive media display featuring photos,<br />
videos and recordings.<br />
The town has a market every Wednesday so is a great<br />
place to stock up on the essentials and fresh local<br />
produce. The high street is full of independent stores so<br />
you can shop until you drop then refuel at a café such as<br />
Trinity’s at No.14. If you are looking for something more<br />
substantial why not try The Bell Inn at Sax or have some<br />
of the best fish and chips around at Trawler’s Catch.<br />
Saxmundham is also close to RSPB Minsmere if you<br />
want to get out into the countryside and see some local<br />
wildlife. For fresh air, this is the place to go! If gardens<br />
are more your thing visit The Walled Garden just outside<br />
the town. This garden has been around since the 1800s<br />
and is beautifully laid out, full of sculptures and a lovely<br />
lily pond. It is definitely worth a visit, especially as it is<br />
combined with a nursery meaning that you can buy the<br />
plants that have inspired you.<br />
If you are looking for excitement and a bit of a challenge<br />
why not visit the Suffolk Escape Room? This Area 51<br />
inspired space will have the intrepid UFO hunter in you<br />
breaking into the infamous area, where you will have one<br />
hour to crack it before the security override kicks in. You<br />
have to work as a team to figure out the clues. This is a<br />
great group activity as well as a challenge to the brain.<br />
With all this to do in Saxmundham, it is a must visit this<br />
year.<br />
