Pinewood is a small, predominantly rural civil parish in the district of Babergh in Suffolk, England. It sits within the patchwork of rolling farmland and pockets of woodland that characterise south Suffolk, with the market towns of Hadleigh and Sudbury not far away and Ipswich within easy commuting distance for many residents.
The parish combines a strong local community feel with an economy still influenced by agriculture alongside a number of commuters and small-scale local enterprises. Historically the area reflects typical Suffolk features - hedgerows, lanes and traditional cottages - and community life tends to centre on local events and conserving the quiet, rural character that draws people to this part of the county.
