Higham is a small rural village and civil parish in the West Suffolk district of Suffolk, England. Set among arable farmland and hedged lanes, it has a compact cluster of period cottages and a parish church and sits within easy reach of the market towns of Bury St Edmunds and Newmarket, making it attractive to commuters and those seeking a quieter country life.
Its character is quietly historic, with a notable parish church and several listed buildings, while the local economy remains largely agricultural alongside small businesses and some equestrian activity linked to the nearby racing and training scene at Newmarket. Community life is centred on the village hall, occasional fetes and footpaths that allow for pleasant walks through classic Suffolk countryside.
