Ousden is a small rural village and civil parish in West Suffolk, in the county of Suffolk, England. It sits on quietly rolling agricultural land close to the Suffolk–Cambridgeshire border and is made up largely of farms, cottages and a few lanes rather than a busy high street; the local economy is dominated by arable farming, with many residents travelling to nearby market towns and Newmarket for work and services.
The village has a quietly historic character, with a parish church and traditional houses reflecting its long rural past, and a strong local community feel delivered through village events and parish activities. Amenities are limited locally, so people typically rely on surrounding towns for shops and transport, but the tranquil landscape, hedged lanes and sense of continuity make Ousden a good example of classic Suffolk countryside living.
