Haverhill sits in the district of West Suffolk in Suffolk, England, close to the borders with Cambridgeshire and Essex and roughly a short drive from Cambridge. Traditionally a market town that expanded with 19th- and 20th-century industry, it has grown substantially since the mid-20th century and now combines a substantial residential population (around 25–30,000) with light industry, business parks and a number of retail and service centres.
The town retains a compact historic core with period buildings and churches alongside modern housing and community facilities; local arts venues, annual events and green spaces make it a hub for surrounding villages. Its position on the edge of the Suffolk countryside gives easy access to country walks and rural landscapes while also making it a practical commuter base for people working in nearby larger towns and cities.
