Farnham is a small rural civil parish in the district of East Suffolk, in the county of Suffolk, England. Set in rolling arable countryside close to the county’s eastern coast, it retains a quiet village character with narrow lanes, hedgerows and a scattering of historic cottages and farmsteads.
Historically centred on agriculture and a medieval parish church, the local economy remains largely farming‑based alongside a few small businesses and commuters to nearby towns. Social life tends to revolve around the church and community activities, and the parish’s proximity to coastal landscapes and nature reserves makes it popular with walkers and wildlife enthusiasts seeking a tranquil corner of Suffolk.
