There are reports of a lost tunnel that once stretched from all the way from Leiston Abbey to Framlingham Castle. It is said to have an exit at the site of the former Angel Inn which is on a direct path between the two destinations.

Standing in the grounds of the renowned Framlingham Castle the Inn has long been a favourite of the inhabitants of the Castle.

The Castle Inn being the oldest pub in Framlingham is also haunted by the ghost of a young boy reputed to one of the boys from the poor house in the Castle. Late at night you can still hear the cries and the request “spare a bob for poor lad sir”.Tips go missing regularly from the tip jar on the bar and a a faint jingling of coins can be heard late at night.

There is a rumour that there is a tunnel that runs from the pub to the castle but it is still undiscovered.

The pond opposite the pub was the old “Witches Ducking Pond” where many a poor lass met her end.

Next to the pub stood a brewery that dates back to early 1800’s, sadly closed in 1903.

During World War 2 the pub was also used by the service men from the local airfield at Parham and there are pictures of the men drinking at the bar. Sometimes at night a low rumbling noise can be heard of a ghostly bomber circling overhead looking for its lost comrades.
