Discover Lavenham – Suffolk’s Medieval Gem
Lavenham, often called England’s best-preserved medieval village, is a treasure trove of history and charm. Once one of the wealthiest towns in Tudor England, its prosperity was built on the thriving wool trade. Today, over 300 beautifully preserved timber-framed buildings line its winding streets, with highlights including the stunning St Peter and St Paul’s Church and the 16th-century Guildhall, now cared for by the National Trust. Lavenham is undoubtedly one of the prettiest towns in England.
For cyclists, Lavenham is a perfect base to explore the Suffolk countryside. Quiet lanes and rolling landscapes lead to picturesque villages, traditional pubs and scenic routes such as the old railway line to Long Melford. You'll find our EEZYBIKEs in the Church Street car park, known locally as the Cock Inn car park (because it's behind the pub). Follow the signs for the Library and Village Hall.
