The town has historical gems including a 13th-century Augustinian priory, as well as Clare Country Park, a medieval church, and Ancient House Museum, known to be one of the oldest houses – notable for its splendid pargetting (decorative plaster moulding). Visit the ruins of Clare Castle, dating back to William the Conqueror, and follow the spiral path which leads to the castles keep, where a beautiful view of historic Clare can be seen.

Worth a visit is the Suffolk heritage coastline, and take in Southwold, 68 miles, Aldeburgh and Orford where there is something for everyone whilst Bury St Edmunds, 17 miles, is an important market town with a richly fascinating heritage. Its striking combination of medieval architecture, elegant Georgian squares and glorious cathedral and abbey gardens provide a distinctive visual charm.
