Lidgate is a small village and civil parish in West Suffolk, in the county of Suffolk in England, lying in the rolling arable countryside to the north‑east of Newmarket and within easy reach of Bury St Edmunds. It has the compact feel of a traditional Suffolk village, with a mix of historic cottages, farms and quiet country lanes.
With medieval roots the village retains a parish church and visible earthwork remains that hint at an older fortified site, giving it a quietly atmospheric past. The local economy is largely agricultural, though several residents commute to nearby towns or work in the horse‑racing industry around Newmarket, and social life tends to be community‑focused around the village hall and church events.
