Tracey (Current Resident) wrote a review in January 2024
"Having lived here for just over two years I can say hand on heart it’s such a fabulous town. I’ve a dog and the walks are amazing, we’ve the wonderful water meadows and discussed railway line tracks so a walk to long melford along the track is about half an hour. It’s an arty town so the art scene is superb & there’s a real sense of community here with lots going on, we’ve even got a theatre. I have never lived anywhere which ticks so many boxes. Oh and we’ve a lovely market which sells local produce so you can support local farmers etc. " Best traits of Sudbury: Community Local amenities Local walking routes SceneryHelp the community - leave a review of Sudbury!
