Haverhill is the second largest town and shopping centre in the borough. Although fire almost razed the town to the ground in 1665, it still has much to offer the architectural enthusiast.
Anne of Cleves' House, which once formed part of the dowry of the Queen's Consort of England, still stands and has been completely renovated. The town is of interest for its Victorian architecture, local history collection and Town Hall.
The 13th century church was severely damaged in the fire of 1665 but was restored in the 19th century.
East Town Park on the eastern side of the town is ideal for informal countryside recreation.
The Town Hall was transformed into an Arts Centre that houses a theatre/cinema, local history centre, art gallery and bistro.
