About St Edmundsbury
We are in West Suffolk, the centre of the Cambridge, Norwich and Ipswich triangle with easy access to the M11 and to Europe via the ports of Ipswich, Felixstowe and Harwich. We also have Stansted airport to the south west.
In the middle of the borough is Bury St Edmunds. An important market town with a richly fascinating heritage, the striking combination of medieval architecture, elegant Georgian squares and glorious Cathedral and Abbey gardens providing a distinctive visual charm. We also have prestigious shopping, an award-winning market, plus variety of attractions and new music and arts venue.
In the south is Haverhill which dates back to pre-Roman times, but this forward thinking, rapidly developing town is very much part of the 21st century.
We are surrounded by extensive rural areas, a mixed environment which has made the area popular with residents, business people and a growing number of tourists.
