Wall Walk

Embark on a journey of discovery around the magnificent wall walk. At a spectacular 10.5 metres high and 2.3 metres thick, this curtain wall has stood for more than 800 years - look down if you dare…

The castle's curtain wall has been carefully conserved so that future generations are able to enjoy spectacular views of Framlingham mere and surrounding countryside. Take the opportunity to count our chimneys, these are the oldest surviving 12th century and Tudor chimneys in the country.

Exhibition

Visit our exhibition space where you can discover the history of Framlingham Castle and its former residents, including Mary Tudor who was proclaimed Queen of England at the castle in 1553.

Test your knowledge in the 'Who Eats What?' game inspired by Duchess Margaret Brotherton, create plates of food and place them next to the class that would have eaten them. Challenge the monarch by playing 'Spin the King' to see their fate or try on everything from a Norman helmet to workhouse cap in the Hats Through the Ages dressing up section.

Castle Café

Get a taste of Tudor life by trying Tudor inspired dishes in our new café. Try Tarte Owte of Lent, a Tudor titled tart, consisting of all the things you're not allowed to eat during lent - cheese, cream and eggs.
