Details
Come and explore Framlingham Castle's diverse and colourful past. It was once home to some of the most formidable names of Tudor England and it was behind these very walls that Mary Tudor was proclaimed Queen of England. The castle then transformed into an Elizabethan prison and later a workshouse in the 17th century.
Embark on a journey of discovery around the magnificent wall walk. At a spectacular 10.5 metres high, the curtain wall stood for more than 800 year. Look down if you dare.
Discover more of Framlingham's stories in the interactive exhibition, take in spectaular views and try some home-made delights in the cafe.
