The historic Cathedral town of Bury St Edmunds, hub of East Anglia, once housed the fabulous Norman Abbey making it one of the great centres of pilgrimage in England.

Easy Directions

From the A14 trunk road (previously called the A45) and approaching from either the east or west, take the second exit from either direction when you see the sugar beet factory. This is signposted 'Bury St Edmunds Central'.

At the roundabout at the bottom of the slip road follow signs to 'Historic Bury St Edmunds' and at the next roundabout turn left into Northgate Street.

Ounce House is on the right hand side at the top of the hill, just before the traffic lights. We have a large blue sign outside and there is plenty of off road parking in front of the house.
