Exning is a small village and civil parish in West Suffolk, Suffolk, England, sitting on the edge of the racehorse town of Newmarket. It occupies slightly higher ground overlooking the flat fenlands to the north and is fringed by heath and training gallops, so the landscape and daily rhythms are strongly shaped by the nearby horse-racing industry.
Recorded as far back as the Domesday Book, the village still has a historic parish church and a compact centre of cottages, pubs and a village hall. The local economy mixes agriculture with racing-related businesses, while many residents commute to Cambridge or Bury St Edmunds; community life tends to centre on local clubs, village events and the close ties to the surrounding training yards.
