Eye is a small market town just over the border into Suffolk. It is signposted off the A140 on the B1117. Eye is steeped in history and old buildings.
The name Eye derives from an old Saxon word for island, and used to be surrounded by marshes and water and it can be seen that the town is raised above the surrounding flat land. It is a pretty little town with beautiful old houses, antique and independent shops selling everything from shoes to sausages.
Eye not only houses many local amenities, such as schools, pubs, shops but also many architectural features. There is a castle ruin dating from the 11th Century, a church - St Peters and St Paul’s - and an unusual crinkle crankle wall. The town centre has a dominating town hall and the area supports many social and sporting activities, on the large green and community centre.
