Withersfield is a small, predominantly rural ward in West Suffolk, Suffolk, England, sitting close to the border with Cambridgeshire. It occupies rolling agricultural countryside of hedged fields and country lanes, with a scattering of historic cottages and a parish church reflecting its medieval origins; the proximity of the market town of Haverhill and accessibility to Cambridge mean it combines quiet village character with easy commuter links.
The local economy is largely agricultural with a mix of long-standing rural households and newer residents who commute out for work, and the community retains an active village life through its parish council and occasional local events. The area appeals to walkers and those interested in countryside heritage, with several listed buildings and a tranquil landscape that typifies west Suffolk settlements.
