Location
Our park is situated right on the edge of town so you’re close
to the countryside but still near enough to town for easy access to local
amenities and attractions. The site is nestled in fields which are perfect for
long, or short, country walks. 
Although the walk into town takes around just 10 minutes, a bus
service operates allowing residents to be picked up at the park gates and taken
straight into Bury. If you choose to walk into town, a path will take you along
pretty riverbank next to the river Lark through the Abbey gardens and past the
cathedral.
The town has a shop mobility scheme in place which makes
this route accessible for those who use mobility scooters. Whether you’re
walking or taking the bus we know you’ll appreciate the hard work and
effort put into Bury in Bloom and be marvelled by how stunning the area looks
in all its floral glory.
All within 5 minutes of the park you can find
doctors surgeries (although more are located closer to the town centre), the
Bury St Edmunds LA Fitness Centre (which has a pool, sauna, gym and steam
room), and the West Suffolk Hospital. Even Bury Golf Range is just down the
street.
You’ll find both a garden centre and supermarket round the
corner and a wide variety of places to eat are all nearby too, well priced to
help you enjoy eating out regularly if you choose to do so.
