About

Bungay & Wainford ward encompasses the historic market town of Bungay and its surrounding rural parishes. The town centre is defined by its medieval street pattern, with narrow lanes converging at the Market Place. The River Waveney forms a natural boundary, with the town sitting within a pronounced meander. The landscape is primarily agricultural, featuring broad, open fields and scattered farmsteads that characterise the outlying villages.

The area is dominated by the ruins of Bungay Castle, a 12th-century fortress built by the Bigod family. A notable local feature is the Butter Cross, an ornate octagonal structure in the marketplace. The ward's economy blends local independent retail, light industry, and farming. The surrounding water meadows and the Waveney Valley provide a distinct lowland environment, with public footpaths following the riverbanks.
