The village and civil parish of Holbrook sits in the Babergh district of Suffolk, eastern England. It has a compact historic core with a parish church and a number of characterful buildings, set amid rolling arable farmland and small woods and within easy reach of Ipswich and the Suffolk coast.
Locally the community is typical of small Suffolk villages - agriculture remains important while many residents commute to nearby towns; a village hall, community groups and seasonal fetes and cricket fixtures help keep village life active. Quiet lanes, hedgerows and nearby estuary habitats make it popular with walkers and birdwatchers, and a handful of small businesses and workshops contribute to the local economy while preserving a largely rural feel.
