This ancient Anglo-Saxon burial site, discovered in 1939, features a 7th-century ship burial, where a 27-meter-long ship was buried with its owner, likely a high-ranking official or king, along with numerous treasures and artifacts, including the famous Sutton Hoo helmet, gold and silver jewelry, and other precious items, providing a unique glimpse into the lives and culture of the Anglo-Saxon people.
Pleasant walk around very helpful staff, free motability wheelchairs so you don't damage your own and they give you good instructions, the house is amazing and lots for children to do.
Lovely walk to see the mounds, the viewing tower offers great views. Museum really good. Lovely, friendly staff.
Lovely place to visit especially if the sun is out. A couple of museums, nice cafe, and viewing tower overlooking the burial mounds. You can go for a long walk around the site as well and the playground has something for most kids. Easily lose half a day to a day there. For National trust members it's free entry.
Loved going to this spectacula Archaeological sight. Need a good few hours to see everything properly. Both house (excavation photos, film and photos) and exhibition hall (dig artifacts, real and reconstructed) worth spending time over. Remember to prebook time slot to avoid disappointment, especially on busy days when coaches expected. New viewing tower gives a great overview of sight.
Brilliant historical place to visit. Recommend the guided tour. Lovely walks with the hound . Great food and drink
If you visit, make sure that you take one of the guided tours, so worth it to learn some of the history.
