Great Whelnetham is a small village and civil parish in West Suffolk, in the county of Suffolk, England, lying close to the market town of Bury St Edmunds. It sits amid gently rolling arable countryside typical of the area, with lanes, hedgerows and a cluster of older cottages and farm buildings that hint at medieval origins and a long agricultural history.
The local economy remains largely agricultural, complemented by a handful of small businesses and commuters who travel to nearby towns. Social life revolves around village institutions - a parish council, village hall and seasonal events - which give the place a strong community feel, while footpaths and quiet lanes make it popular with walkers and anyone after a peaceful rural base within easy reach of larger centres.
