Suffolk Area Guides

A recent Royal Mail-commissioned survey found that parts of Suffolk — Kesgrave, Martlesham, and Rusher St Andrew — are among the best places to live in the UK, based on criteria including low crime, good schools, high employment, and green spaces. Generally, Suffolk isn’t the easiest county from which to commute into London — but there are some towns and villages that are commutable, and these are in high demand. For those who don’t need to commute or are looking for a second home, however, you are spoilt for choice with the various rural villages, market towns, and coastal towns Suffolk offers. The timeless beauty of Suffolk’s rural cottages, townhouses, and country estates is matched by the modern amenities on offer, making Suffolk a worthy place to call home. 

Living in Suffolk

Bury St EdmundsExceptional4.6

Bury St Edmunds is a town located in the St. Edmundsbury Borough which sits in the county of Suffolk, East of England. Named as 'The nicest town in the World’ by William Cobbet, this hidden gem is most famous for the ruined Abbey found near to the town centre. It was during the medieval times that the powerful Abbey was first established, and it was mainly destroyed in the 18th century, however, the ruins are still very much appreciated today in the picturesque and award-winning Abbey Gardens.
