Bungay Museum is a small, independent heritage centre housed above the Town Council Offices on Broad Street, exploring the archaeology, geology and history of Bungay and the surrounding Waveney Valley. Inside you'll find an extensive geology collection, archaeological finds spanning the Palaeolithic to Post Medieval periods, and items recovered from Bungay Castle, alongside displays on local folklore, agriculture, shops and wartime experiences. It suits anyone curious about local history, though note there's a staircase and no wheelchair access. The museum is only open Thursdays and Saturdays, 10am to 1pm, from April to September. Based in Bungay, East Suffolk, it's close to Falcon Meadow on the River Waveney, with Beccles station 5.6 miles away and 28 nearby places to stay for a longer visit.
