Sudbury is a great place to visit. There is something for everybody, the Town Centre is lovely. Lots of great pubs nearby as well. Fantastic walks all around by the Mill. A great brewery at Nethergate well worth a visit.

Larger than we expected, absolutely great for walking and taking in the architecture and walk by the river stour. Lots of shops, places to eat and Gainsborough’s home and museum an absolute must. All of this is walkable.

We only stayed in Sudbury because we were visiting a friend. Did not venture into town but didn't look like there were that many shops. All our sightseeing was out of town - Bury St. Edmunds and Ipswich. We were able to catch the train to London there.

Didn’t spend much time in Sudbury as been before but ate at the Mill Hotel which is a lovely dog friendly place with a water wheel in the bar. Went to the Quay Theatre which is tiny but worth a visit if you see a show or play you fancy.

Everything was fine. I recommend the Grover & Allen pub not far away. It had my favourite cask ale at a very generous price. I bought some naan breads and dips from the local Morrisons store for my short overnight stay, plus fruit scones to have with tea. Had I stayed the whole weekend, I would have made more use of the kitchen and cooked some proper meals.

Sudbury is a fine looking old town with a lot that's interesting to see and some nice restaurants. Gainsborough's House was very interesting. Well worth a visit. The Lydia Turkish restaurant had great food and great service. In this premises, writer John Bunyan stayed with the family. The White Horse pub was friendly and relaxed with a menu for seniors that was very reasonable. Simon of Sudbury's skull which was cut off during the Peasant's revolt, can be seen in St Gregory's church but we didn't have time in the end to see that, as we realised too late. He was the Bishop and Chancellor who 'invented' the poll tax. Also at one time he was a Pope's assistant and an ambassador. There were music events but mostly near or during week-ends. The 753 bus near our Mill House Hotel (which had beautiful views) will take people to Lavenham and Bury St Edmunds. Bus timetables showing local stops were hard to find, even on the internet. Traffic was terrible with few safe pedestrian crossings even on the most dangerous junctions like the junction of Stour St and Gregory St which is on the A131 which runs through the town. It doesn't seem to be a town that considers pedestrians or their safety There was no taxi rank at the station and no information on where to find one. Sudbury could do with a by-pass for traffic which is just passing through and does not need to stop there.
