St Edmunds Abbey Great Gate is an impressive 14th century stone gatehouse of the
Benedictine abbey and was designed to be the gateway for the Great Courtyard.
One of the best surviving examples of its type, this two storey gate-hall is entered
through a single archway which retains its portcullis. Just to the south is St
James Tower.
Bury St Edmunds Abbey Great Gate is located in the city centre, off Angel Hill. 28 miles east of Cambridge, on the A14.
The site is managed by St Edmundsbury Borough Council and is freely accessible in daylight hours.
There are car parks nearby.
