Wissett is a small village and civil parish in East Suffolk, Suffolk, England, set among rolling arable farmland and pockets of ancient woodland. It lies a few miles from the market town of Halesworth, and its quiet lanes and public footpaths make it a pleasant stop for walkers exploring the Suffolk countryside.

Despite a modest population the parish displays clear historic roots in its church and traditional cottages, and the local economy is still largely agricultural alongside commuters working in nearby towns. There is a strong sense of local community, with efforts to conserve hedgerows, meadows and listed buildings that reflect the area’s rural heritage.
