Thorndon is a small village and civil parish in Mid Suffolk, Suffolk, England, set among the gently rolling arable countryside of East Anglia. It lies a few miles from the market town of Eye and is within easy reach of Stowmarket, so lanes, hedgerows and farmed fields give it a typically rural character while remaining connected to larger centres.
The village’s long history is visible in its parish church with medieval features and a scattering of listed cottages and farm buildings; agriculture and small rural enterprises still shape the local economy, and many people commute to nearby towns. Community life is quietly neighbourly, with footpaths and country lanes popular with walkers and a general sense of the tranquil Suffolk countryside.
