Homersfield is a tiny rural parish in East Suffolk, in the county of Suffolk, tucked close to the border with Norfolk and set alongside the River Waveney. The landscape is low-lying farmland and hedged meadows, popular with walkers exploring the Waveney valley, and it sits within easy reach of market towns such as Bungay and Halesworth.
Historically one of the scattered South Elmham parishes, it retains a medieval church dedication to St Mary and has a very small population; the local economy is largely agricultural with some commuting to nearby towns. A distinctive local feature is the historic Homersfield Bridge over the Waveney, and the area has a quietly conserved, heritage-rich character that attracts those interested in rural history and river-side wildlife.
