Wixoe is a tiny rural parish in West Suffolk, Suffolk, England, tucked into the gentle agricultural landscape beside the valley of the River Stour. It’s reached by quiet lanes rather than main roads and sits a few miles from market towns such as Haverhill and Sudbury, giving it a very quiet, unhurried character.
For such a small place, Wixoe is notable for important archaeological remains of a Roman small town and associated roads and finds; periodic excavations have revealed streets, timber buildings and pottery that attract local historians. Today the parish remains predominantly agricultural with a tiny population, prized for its river scenery, tranquillity and the way its long history is visible in the landscape.
