Ixworth is a small village and civil parish in the district of West Suffolk, in rural Suffolk, England. It sits amid rolling arable countryside and traditionally agricultural land, a short drive from the market town of Bury St Edmunds, and serves as a quieter residential centre for the surrounding area.
The village has a long history reflected in a medieval parish church and a number of timber‑framed and period buildings, and retains local amenities such as shops, pubs and a village hall that help sustain an active community life. Economically it remains rooted in agriculture while also functioning for many as a commuter or family village, with regular local events and a strong sense of village identity.
