Gipping is a small, rural civil parish in Mid Suffolk, in the county of Suffolk in England, set beside the River Gipping and a short distance from the market town of Stowmarket and within easy reach of Ipswich. The landscape is typical Suffolk patchwork of arable fields, hedgerows and pockets of woodland, with scattered farmsteads and quiet lanes.
Its history is closely tied to the river, which traditionally powered mills and supported local trade, and reminders of that past survive in listed farm buildings and country houses. Today Gipping is sparsely populated and largely agricultural or commuter‑based, valued for its tranquillity by walkers and residents who rely on nearby towns for most services and social life.
