Bungay is the Waveney Valley's quiet capital.
Bungay, and why people stay
Bungay is a characterful market town on the Waveney, with castle ruins, an independent high street and easy access to the Broads, the coast and the South Norfolk countryside.
It is increasingly the chosen base for slow-tourism guests doing the Waveney Valley properly.
Walk the castle ruins, eat at Earsham Street Café or the Castle Inn, and follow the river out through Earsham and Mettingham.
The antique trail through Beccles, Bungay and Harleston is a proper rainy-day plan.
That mix is exactly what makes places to stay in Bungay so worthwhile for the right kind of guest.
