Halesworth was granted market town status in 1222 and is a town rich in heritage and history dating back to the Middle Ages. It reached the peak of its prosperity when the River Blyth, on which it sits, was made navigable in 1756, greatly increasing the town's trade particularly for the maltsters and brewers. Halesworth boasts the largest green in the UK, consisting of 43 acres of grazing land that is part of the Blyth Valley Environmentally Sensitive Area, and is a haven for wildlife.
