Framlingham

A small market town dating back to the Doomsday Book, today it has a population of around 3,000.

By road

Whilst there are road connections from many directions, these are more minor roads (B-roads). The B1120 running NE connects to the A1120 3 miles from the town (the A1120 running to the main A12 to the E and to the A140 to the W). Other B roads connect Framlingham to neighbouring towns. Although only B roads, they are not busy so can be used easily (just not at 70 mph).

Bt train

The town rail station was closed to passenger traffic in 1950s. The nearest rail stations are

• Wickham Market Train Station

By bicycle

National Cycle Route 1 (Shetland to Dover) runs through the town, to Halesworth, Lowestoft and Norwich to the N and to Woodbridge, Ipswich and Colchester to the S.
Regional cycle Route 40 (HoSR) runs through the town.
Both cycle routes running through the town connect to other cycle routes and are part of the National Cycle Network.

The town it small enough to see on foot. However, much of interest is in the surrounding countryside or nearby villages and would probably need a car.
