About

Clare, Cavendish and Wickhambrook sit in West Suffolk where the River Stour cuts a shallow valley through arable land and mixed woodland. Clare is the market town at the centre, with a motte-and-bailey earthwork marking the site of the medieval castle and a linear country park that follows the old railway platform beside the river. Footpaths and lanes link the three settlements, passing hedgerow fields, small copses and ponds that reflect the parish pattern of farms and hamlets.

Local landmarks include Clare Priory, a friary founded in the 13th century that still occupies a riverside site, and the timber-framed houses and village green around Cavendish church. Wickhambrook covers a wide area of lanes, commons and scattered farms, and supports active village institutions such as the primary school and community hall. Annual fairs, local produce stalls and country walks under beech and oak are how many residents and visitors experience the area’s rural character and layered history.
