☀️ When planning your trip, check that important facilities – like toilets and car parks – are open before you travel so you’re not caught short.
☀️ If you are planning a visit to one of our attractions, please check online to see if you need to pre-book a time slot. You can find out more about the attractions on offer in Bury St Edmunds & Beyond with our 'Things to Do Guide'.
☀️ Some places may be extremely popular, so get off the beaten track and discover a hidden gem. If you arrive and there are lots of other people there, remember social distancing guidance and ideally find somewhere else to visit which is less busy or which has the facilities to ensure your visit is as safe as possible.
☀️ Keep two metres apart from anyone outside your household (one metre plus from the 4th July) – this not only applies to walking, but running, cycling, sitting, shopping and sunbathing too.
☀️ As well as your happy memories, please take all rubbish away with you.
☀️ Wear a face covering at all times when using public transport.
☀️ Remember your bank card; many outlets and shops are currently only accepting cashless payments.
☀️ Pubs and restaurants may be taking bookings only - Please call or email ahead to find out, you may be turned away if you arrive without a booking. You can find out more about places to eat and drink with our 'Eating & Drinking Guide'.
☀️ If you're planning a stay, please book in advance and check your accommodation providers Ts & Cs and the procedures put in place to keep you safe during your stay. Take a look at our 'Places to Stay Guide', to plan your break.
☀️ Take hand sanitiser with you – you don’t know where will be open for you to wash your hands.
☀️ Leave the car behind where possible and visit nearby attractions by walking or cycling. For information on travel and transport, take a look at our 'Getting Here & Getting Around Guide'.

Bury St Edmunds and the Wool Towns of Lavenham, Long Melford and Clare are nestled amongst the beautiful Suffolk countryside. Please #RespectProtectEnjoy by:
🌿 Keeping our outdoor spaces looking beautiful by putting all rubbish in the nearest bins or taking it home if bins are full.
🌿 Show consideration for our wildlife - whilst enjoying the great outdoors more, you’re likely to come across wildlife. Try not to disturb them, or any farm animals for that matter. Keep your four-legged friend on a lead and remember to bag and bin any mess they leave behind.
🌿 Not using disposable barbecues as they risk causing wildfires – visit one of the many eateries and leave the cooking to the professionals instead!
🌿 Stick to designated footpaths and follow local signage for restrictions on routes.
🌿 Take a look at the Countryside Code before setting off.
