Bury St Edmunds is in the county of Suffolk and was the town where the barons who forced King John to accept Magna Carta met to discuss their plans. It has also been home to the UK's Parliament on three occasions.
The remains of Bury St Edmunds Abbey are in the centre of the town. The abbey was founded in the tenth century and visitors to the city can still explore the Abbey Gardens. Nearby is the cathedral which has been rebuilt over the years and has been extensively renovated in recent years to turn it from a church into a cathedral. These works included a magnificent tower that was built just after the millennium.
