The Sutton Hoo Anglo-Saxon burial ground and the Theatre Royal in Bury St Edmunds have been named among the most popular National Trust sites in the country.

Researchers have used Google traffic to identify the top 10 most searched-for National Trust beauty spots in the UK.

The study, which considered hundreds of sites, was conducted by Jorvik Tricycles.

Sutton Hoo, where one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of all time was made, ranked sixth in the list with 40,000 monthly Google searches.

East Anglian Daily Times:

The site, near Woodbridge, made international headlines when a previously undisturbed ship burial containing Anglo-Saxon artefacts was discovered in 1939.

The find was dramatised in the Netflix film The Dig, released in 2021.

Bury's Theatre Royal was next on the list in seventh, with a slightly-lower total of 39,000 monthly searches.

It is the last remaining Regency playhouse in the country and has many of its original features intact since it was built in 1819.

Cheddar Gorge in Somerset topped the list, with 96,000 searches every month.
