Exning is a small village and civil parish in West Suffolk, in the county of Suffolk, England. It sits on the edge of the Newmarket racing hinterland and farmland, giving it a pleasantly rural feel while remaining within easy reach of larger towns and cities.
Although modest in size, Exning has a long local history reflected in its parish church and a number of older buildings, and its social life is shaped by village amenities, annual community events and the nearby horse-racing industry centred on Newmarket. Many residents work in racing, farming or commute to centres such as Cambridge and Bury St Edmunds, so the village blends traditional rural character with practical connections to the surrounding region.
