Visitors come not only for St Edmund but also to explore the cathedral, the atmospheric ruins of the abbey, and several important churches — including one that holds the remains of Mary Tudor. It’s also home to Britain’s only surviving Regency playhouse and the Greene King brewery, which has been crafting beer on the same site since 1799. But beyond the heritage, Bury St Edmunds has plenty of life and color today. Its bustling markets, independent shops, art galleries, and excellent pubs and restaurants make it a perfect spot for a mini-break — especially for those who like their sightseeing mixed with good food, good drink, and a dash of history.
