Welcome to the Bury St Edmunds Tourism Group

Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk was once the capital of East Anglia and the town and surrounding area are full of history.

This lovely medieval market town has a warm and friendly atmosphere throughout the year. Convenient for Cambridge and only two hours from London, it is the perfect place to bring an organized group or to visit with family and friends.

This page links to the web-sites of the members of the Tourism Group and will give you a flavour of what the town can offer in attractions and accommodation.

We look forward to welcoming you to Bury St Edmunds.
