In days gone by, Bury St Edmunds was home to one of the most powerful monasteries in medieval Europe. Whilst that power has subsided, the legacy of that time is some of the most extraordinary architecture in the UK. This includes the impressive St Edmundsbury Cathedral, the beautiful Abbey Gardens and West Stow, which was once an ancient Anglo-Saxon village. This rich history and culture is what makes a cottage holiday to Bury St Edmunds one of the most enjoyable experiences you can have in the picturesque county of Suffolk. By booking last-minute, give yourself more money to spend in the chic independent shops, local pubs and charming restaurants that the town has on offer.
