Gisleham is a small village and civil parish in the East Suffolk district of Suffolk, England, sitting a few miles inland from the North Sea and close to the larger town of Lowestoft. The settlement has a distinctly rural feel with surrounding arable farmland and low-lying marshes, and its slight rise above the surrounding landscape gives occasional views towards the coast and the Waveney valley.
Historically centred on a medieval parish church and a handful of traditional cottages and farmsteads, the area retains several listed buildings and a strong agricultural character while also serving as a quiet commuter hinterland for nearby coastal towns. Local life tends to revolve around village events and the maintenance of community facilities, making it a peaceful spot that nevertheless benefits from easy access to the amenities of the Suffolk coast.
