Come to Clare ...
The County of Suffolk abounds in historical and beautiful towns and
villages. Of the smaller towns Clare has a deeply fascinating history
and the kind of timeless beauty which can only evolve over many centuries.

No other Suffolk town can offer the special combination of interest
to be found here. The Country Park, a haven of conservation and preservation
as well as a place of recreation, a 13th century Priory and a great
Gothic Wool Church. A 16th century hostelry and a number of pubs, some
of great antiquity, all serving excellent food. Hotel accommodation
and the traditional bed and breakfast are available in the town. There
are a selection of antique shops and art galleries to visit, as well
as a comprehensive range of excellently stocked shops.
But that is not all, for Clare is also a living history of English,
and in particular Suffolk vernacular architecture. One of the most architecturally
interesting houses is the town museum and Clare even has its own castle
ruin.
Clare is well situated too, within easy reach of Bury St Edmunds, Sudbury,
Newmarket, Lavenham, Cavendish and Long Melford, each in its own way
unique, but most important, all within 20 miles of Clare.
