Suffolk is a peaceful, rural county, with gentle rolling farmland that appears to stretch for miles. It has some of England's best examples of small medieval towns, country churches, moated farmhouses, mills and castles. Lavenham is probably the best example of a medieval town which originally built its wealth on the cloth trade. Today, you will find pretty colour-washed and half-timbered buildings in charming villages and market towns, pubs with good traditional English food.  Other medieval towns worth visiting are those of: Long Melford, Hadleigh, Boxford, Bildeston, Clare, Cavendish, Kersey, and  Monks Eleigh.
