- Long Melford is a quintessential English village and is considered one of Suffolk’s top places to live.
The village has a very long high street called Hall Street. This high street is the longest in England. Long Melford Pubs are popular and plentiful.
With its antique shops, cafes, boutiques, restaurants and Tudor mansions, the village of Long Melford, makes a perfect day trip in Suffolk.
Long Melford is situated between Sudbury and Bury St Edmunds, in south west Suffolk (we have walks in both places).
It's located 25 minutes from Bury St Edmunds, on the edge of Constable Country and the Dedham Vale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Lavenham is just a 10-minute drive away, (we have a walk through here too).
There are mainline trains to London Liverpool Street from Ipswich and Colchester
and connections from Sudbury.
Long Melford is a Suffolk’s Wool Town that became wealthy in the Middle Ages due to East Anglia’s booming wool and cloth industry.
There are some lovely 15th century buildings in the village, and Kentwell Hall, one of England’s finest Tudor houses is close by.
Nearby Kentwell Hall is known for its unique recreations of everyday life in Tudor times.
Kentwell Hall has historic reenactments and open farm days throughout the year.
Melford Hall a grand Elizabethan house run by the National Trust also has events throughout the year.
A Long Melford Christmas is a special one with Christmas events happening in the village and at Kentwell hall.
Long Melford Heritage Centre, at the rear of the village hall in Chemists Lane is worth a visit and Long Melford Open Gardens is held on the last May Bank Holiday.
Long Melford has plenty of traditional tea rooms and cafes such the Melford Tea Rooms, the Olive Tree Tea Room and Tiffin’s Tea and Coffee House.
Pubs and inns include The Black Lion Hotel, The Bull Hotel, The George and Dragon, The Hare Inn, The Cock & Bell and The Swan Inn.

Do drop by with your comments or recommendations regarding the village. Or with comments about the channel in general. We'll take time to reply and will value hearing from you.
I do like the contrast on the channel. One moment a big city and the next a hidden gem!
Thanks for letting us know that RBS, we'll be bringing a bit of contrast in so many more coming this way. Best wishes.
Wow I see why it's named 'Long' Melford! That's what you call long! Lots of interest and little moments along the way. I enjoyed it.
Afternoon LY&M, yes it certainly was long, we thought it would never end but enjoyed the scenes along the way. Best regards.
@@LivingWalks It was changed to Long Melford in 1884, so the 'long' part is a fairly new addition. Otherwise is historically just Melford.
Lovely! Thank you for sharing this. I miss home so much.
Ah happy to have brought a little bit of it back to you Jill.
Another lovely UK walk and a nice accompaniment to Sudbury. Thanks for helping me to get to know places with such simple honesty, I like it!
Always happy to bring you new places MA, we'll be mixing the walks up a bit more now we can get out and about a bit more. Thanks for your continued connection!
@@LivingWalks do you think with my surname a should vist this place lol
I like the subtitled guide. It was interesting to know that Hall Street is the longest high st in England. Must have been an important town in its day. I can see why it's such a popular place to move to now. It's really quite lovely. Thanks LW.
Thanks for the feedback BIAF, it's nice to know the sub' guide is helpful, we'll prob' continue with that. All the best to you.
A great video of where I lived for 16 years. Just an extra piece of history - Coconut House opposite the Bull hotel was the managers house of a large coconut matting factory next door at Cocoanut House. The industry was founded to fill the gap when the wool trade fell away. Later the factory was used to build coffins for victims of the First World War then burned down in the 1920’s leaving the street front buildings.
Hello there Camilla, what a lovely message to receive from you and we're most grateful for the additional info which I'll add to the captions when I get a mo'. All the best to you.
