Westerfield is a small village and civil parish just to the west of Ipswich in East Suffolk, Suffolk, England. It sits in the gently rolling agricultural landscape typical of the county, and is perhaps best known locally for Westerfield railway station and the nearby junction where the line to Felixstowe diverges, which gives the village a handy commuter link while it retains a quiet, rural character.
Historic features include a medieval parish church and a scattering of older houses; the economy has traditionally been agricultural, with many residents now commuting to nearby towns. Community life is modest but active, centred on a village hall and occasional local events, and the village’s proximity to Ipswich and the Suffolk coast means cultural and coastal attractions are within easy reach of this small East Anglia settlement.
