Ickworth is a small civil parish in West Suffolk, within the county of Suffolk in England. The landscape is largely rural, set amid the rolling parkland, mixed woodland and small lakes of the surrounding estate, with farms and quiet lanes linking to the nearby market town of Bury St Edmunds.
The parish is best known for the dramatic neoclassical rotunda and country house of Ickworth Hall, formerly the seat of the Hervey family, the Marquesses of Bristol, and now in National Trust care. The estate draws visitors for walks, gardens and wildlife (including deer), so local life combines agriculture, conservation and tourism, with community activity often centred on estate events and neighbouring villages.
