Bury St Edmunds is a cathedral town and market town in the West Suffolk district of Suffolk. Abbot Baldwin laid its streets out on a grid around 1080, and the Rivers Lark and Linnet run through the lowest parts of the town.
The town grew up around its Benedictine abbey, founded in 1020 and dissolved in 1539. Of the abbey, the 14th-century Great Gate and the Norman Tower survive whole, beside the ruins of its great church. St Edmundsbury Cathedral was the parish church of St James until it became a cathedral in 1914, and its Gothic revival tower was built between 2000 and 2005. Moyse's Hall, a 12th-century building, houses the town museum, and the Greene King brewery is here.
The abbey ruins lie within the Abbey Gardens in the centre of the town, where paths lead past the remains and flower beds. The town sits in the gently undulating country of the East Anglian Heights, where the land to the east and west rises above 100 metres.
Bury St Edmunds station is on the Ipswich to Ely line, with trains to Ipswich, Cambridge and Peterborough, and connections at Cambridge and Ipswich for London. The A14, a major route between the east coast and the Midlands, runs through the town, which has three junctions on it.
