Abbey Gardens

The Abbey Gate is the main entrance to the gardens of the Bury St Edmunds Abbey. It's also right across the street from a small square on the edge of the pedestrian street leading to the heart of town.

Bury St Edmunds Cathedral/Abbey.

For over 1,000 years, the site of Suffolk ’s Cathedral has been one of worship and pilgrimage. The death of Edmund, King of the East Angles, at the hands of the Danes in 869 led to the building of an abbey to house his remains. St James’s Church was built within the precincts of the Abbey, becoming a Cathedral in 1914.
