LocationThe historic town of Eye is blessed with an array of shops andbusinesses enabling residents to be essentially self sufficient. Withschools, both Nursery, Primary and High, a Health Centre and variedsocial and recreational opportunities, all age groups are catered for.The town includes an impressive mix of architecture and interestingbuildings especially when one considers the impressive propertiestowards the fine, historic Church. With a tower of 101feet, therenowned Nicklaus Pevsner in The Buildings of England (Suffolk)describes it as "one of the wonders of Suffolk". The excellent shopsinclude for example the friendly 'institution' that is The HandymanStores and also two butchers, bakers, a fine deli, two supermarkets andchemist, complementing those found at neighbouring Diss(approximately 5 miles).
