Thankfully it was a beautiful day when I
visited so spirits were high from the get go. The ruins of the castle are an
absolutely stunning sight as you first walk through the arch; it does a good
job of making you feel small. I must say I was quite fond of seeing the
buildings for the information centre and cafe within the castle walls, almost
to replicate where original buildings would have stood. Having caught up on the
history of Framlingham Castle, as well as learned about the role of Norfolk and
Suffolk during its heyday, I headed up to the wall walk. Climbing the tiniest
and most spiral of staircases was a little challenge but very worth it upon
reaching the top. You were able to walk the entire perimeter of the castle and
were greeted by the beautiful sights of rolling fields and clustered woodlands
from up there; granted I may have thought slightly differently if it was
raining.
