Map of the UK

Laxfield is a village and civil parish in the district of Mid Suffolk in the county of Suffolk, England. Set in the gently rolling countryside of East Anglia, its centre still shows many timber-framed cottages, a village green and a medieval parish church, giving the place a strongly historic, rural character.

Local life mixes agriculture with a small but lively community scene - village events, a hall, a few pubs and independent shops - and many residents commute to nearby towns for work. Conservation of listed buildings, pleasant walking routes through surrounding farmland and a steady interest from visitors make it a good example of a traditional Suffolk village that has retained its social fabric while adapting to modern rural living.
