Martlesham is a suburban village and civil parish on the eastern edge of Ipswich in the district of East Suffolk, in the county of Suffolk, England. It sits where gentle arable countryside meets newer housing from the post‑war expansion and the planned estate at Martlesham Heath, so the area feels like a mix of a traditional Suffolk village and a modern commuter community.
Historically notable for the former RAF airfield at Martlesham Heath, the parish now hosts Adastral Park, a major technology and research campus that has shaped the local economy and brought high‑tech employers to the area. Close to Woodbridge and good road links into Ipswich, Martlesham has local shops, schools and community groups and is popular with families and professionals who appreciate easy access to both countryside and town facilities.
