Map of the UK

Barsham is a small rural parish in East Suffolk, in the county of Suffolk, England, typifying the gentle, arable landscape of East Anglia. The area is dominated by farmland, hedgerows and pockets of ancient woodland, with a scattering of historic farmhouses and cottages rather than a single nucleated village; it sits within easy reach of the Suffolk coast and the region’s market towns.

Locally the economy remains largely agricultural, augmented by a few small businesses, holiday lets and residents who commute to nearby centres, while community life revolves around the parish church and occasional village events. The parish has historic roots reflected in surviving traditional buildings and a strong sense of place often celebrated by conservation-minded locals and visitors seeking a quieter slice of rural Suffolk.
