Risby is a small village and civil parish on the rural edge of the market town of Bury St Edmunds in West Suffolk, Suffolk, England. It lies amid gently rolling arable countryside and hedgerow-lined lanes that are typical of this part of Suffolk, giving a quiet, picturesque feel while remaining within easy reach of the services and rail links of the nearby market town.
