Wickhambrook is a substantial rural village and civil parish in West Suffolk, Suffolk, England, set in rolling arable countryside a short drive from Bury St Edmunds and Newmarket. The parish includes a number of small hamlets and farms, so agriculture remains important to the local economy while some residents commute to nearby market towns and to Cambridge for work.
Social and cultural life is centred on a village hall, primary school, pubs and sports clubs, with an active programme of local societies and seasonal events such as fetes and market days. The settlement retains a historic feel with timber‑framed houses, a medieval church and several listed buildings, and a good network of public footpaths and bridleways that make it popular with walkers and riders exploring the Suffolk countryside.
