flag Lavenham, a historic Suffolk village, named one of the UK’s top underrated destinations for its well-preserved medieval charm.

flag Lavenham, a Suffolk village near Colchester with fewer than 2,000 residents, has been named one of the UK’s top 10 most underrated destinations by The Telegraph, hailed as possibly England’s greatest medieval village. flag Renowned for its well-preserved 15th-century church, pastel-hued half-timbered cottages, and winding medieval lanes, the village thrived during the wool trade and has avoided mass tourism. flag Visitors can explore its crooked streets, enjoy a drink at the historic 15th-century Swan Inn—linked to figures like Constable and Nelson—or stay at the inn or nearby Great House, featuring a restored inglenook fireplace. flag Despite sharing a Colchester postcode, Lavenham remains a quiet, authentic glimpse into England’s medieval past.
