Welcome to Bungay

Bungay is a small market town located in the county of Norfolk, England. The town is situated on the River Waveney and is known for its historic architecture, including the ruins of Bungay Castle and the 15th-century St. Mary's Church. Bungay has a rich history dating back to the Roman era, and the town has been inhabited continuously since the 7th century.

One of the most notable features of Bungay is its thriving market, which has been held in the town since the 12th century. The market takes place every Thursday and offers a wide range of goods, including fresh produce, clothing, and crafts.
