Take a stroll in the award winning abbey gardens in Bury St Edmunds - Image of garden

Bury St Edmunds is rich in medieval and Georgian architecture and has a vibrant shopping centre decked with flowers in summer. Historic streets bustle with individual shops, cafés, restaurants, and a traditional twice-weekly market. Soaring above is the majestic tower of St Edmundsbury Cathedral, a fine landmark beside the famous abbey gardens. Hardly surprising that Bury was a winner in the 2007 RHS Britain in Bloom Awards.
