About this activity

Visit Long Melford with this self-guided audio tour for anyone who wants to discover more of the village than just it’s views. Join me on this walk around the green, get to know the village like a local and hear how it got its start in the wool trade. Along the way, you’ll hear a few of the stories that get talked about when the locals get together in the pubs.

You’ll hear about:

• The Abbots of St Edmunds

• Where John Lennon caused a flood

• What caused the riot act to be read for the last time in England

• And why a man had butter melting under his hat

There is a whole way of life around the green to discover. You might even fancy a bit of "ordinary" at the end of the tour.
