Earl Soham is a small village and civil parish in the district of East Suffolk, in the county of Suffolk, England. It sits amid gently rolling agricultural countryside a few miles east of Framlingham and within commuting distance of Ipswich, characterised by narrow lanes, hedgerows and a mix of cottages and farmsteads.
