Map of the UK

Hemley is a tiny riverside village and civil parish in East Suffolk, Suffolk, England, set beside the estuarine waters of the River Orwell. It feels distinctly rural and coastal at the same time, with a scattering of traditional cottages, agricultural land and salt‑marsh fringes that give the area a quiet, natural character.

Locally there’s a strong sense of community and a heritage of river‑side life and farming; the parish’s wildlife and riverside paths attract walkers and birdwatchers, while many residents look to nearby towns and ports for work and services - for example Ipswich and the port at Felixstowe. Historically small and low‑key, Hemley retains a peaceful charm typical of the Suffolk coast.
