Location

Carley’s Yard is set back from Fore Street, close to the centre of Framlingham.  The town is home to a good selection of independent shops and businesses including cafés, restaurants, hairdressers, antique shops, a travel agency and delicatessen.  It is also home to the Crown Hotel and a Co-operative supermarket.  Off the Market Hill are a number of other businesses providing day-to-day services including pubs, vets, a medical centre and schools.  Sir Robert Hitcham’s Primary School is highly regarded and Thomas Mills High School is considered one of the best state schools in the East of England.  There is also Framlingham College, which is served by its prep school, Brandeston Hall, some 5 miles away.  In recent years Framlingham was voted the number one place to live in the country and is perhaps best known for its magnificent medieval castle, which is managed by English Heritage.   

Framlingham is only 12 miles from the coast as the crow flies with the popular destinations of Southwold, Dunwich, Thorpeness and Orford.  The county town of Ipswich lies approximately 18 miles to the south-west and from here there are regular services to London’s Liverpool Street Station, scheduled to take just over the hour.

Directions

From Clarke and Simpson’s office in Well Close Square, proceed south to Albert Place and turn left onto Fore Street.  Proceed up the hill, and Carley’s Yard will be found on the left hand side, just after The Crown Hotel car park, and before the left hand turning to Crown & Anchor Lane.
