Map of the UK

Palgrave is a small village and civil parish in the Mid Suffolk district of Suffolk, England, tucked into the gently rolling farmland of East Anglia near the county boundary with Norfolk. It sits within easy reach of market towns such as Diss and Eye, making it a quiet rural community with a landscape of hedgerows, lanes and arable fields that attracts walkers and cyclists.

Historically agricultural, Palgrave retains a village atmosphere with a parish church, village hall and scattered historic houses and former manor sites, and local life often centres on community events and small-scale farming or local businesses. Many residents commute to larger centres such as Norwich or Bury St Edmunds (or travel via Diss station), so the village combines traditional rural character with links to nearby towns.
