The Anglo-Saxon royal burial ground where, in 1939, a great ship burial was found under a mound, full of treasures, among them a magnificent iron helmet, gold buckles and silverware. It is thought to be the grave of King Rædwald of East Anglia, who died around 624.
The treasures are in the British Museum, but the exhibition hall has replicas and finds. Walk out to the burial mounds and climb the viewing tower for a view over them and the River Deben.
