Framlingham Castle
Set amidst beautiful estates and parkland, Framlingham Castle is a late 12-century castle that was built by Roger Bigod, Earl of Norfolk. For over 400 years it housed dukes of Norfolk.
Framlingham Castle is a typical example of Medieval castle design. It overlooks River Ore and is made up of three parts. Surrounded by a mere and farmland, the castle consists of the Inner Court, the Lower Cour, and the Bailey.
Around the Inner Court, you can find carved chimneys, only three of them functional, the rest are ornamental, and these date back to the Tudor period. Framlingham Castle is thought to be rather advanced for its time regarding military defense.
