One of Sudbury’s most iconic features are the ancient Common Lands, covering 115 acres to the west of the town.
Their history spans as far back as the Domesday Book and the meadows have the longest record of continuous grazing in East Anglia. Cattle continue to graze to this day as part of the careful management of the land.
Observant visitors will be rewarded with the sights of a wide range of insect life and larger wildlife, of wildflowers and of wetland plants now uncommon in Suffolk.
