Gislingham is a small rural village and civil parish in Mid Suffolk, in the county of Suffolk, England. It sits amid gently rolling farmland typical of the East Anglian countryside and is centred on a traditional high street and an historic parish church, with a scattering of timber-framed cottages and later Victorian buildings that give the village a distinctly villagey character.
Historically and economically the area has been shaped by agriculture, though today many residents commute to larger towns for work; locally there is still a strong community life centred on the village hall, primary school and sports and social clubs. Annual fêtes, fund-raising events and the local pub help keep a social buzz, while the peaceful lanes and public footpaths make it a pleasant base for exploring rural Suffolk.
