Mediaval remnants

Because Suffolk is one of the oldest counties in England, there are several medieval markets which are still operating up to this day.

However, this medieval market is more known for the ruined monastery and the 16th century cathedral of S. Edmundsbury.

Another ancient market is the Newmarket which has preserved its regal ambience that started when Charles II has built his palace near this area. Today, this market has been transformed into a horse racing course which is attracting large crowds.
