About

The Eye, Palgrave & Occold area encompasses a cluster of settlements within the undulating farmland of Mid Suffolk. The market town of Eye, with its prominent church and historic castle mound, forms a focal point. The surrounding landscape is characterised by arable fields, hedgerows, and small areas of woodland, with the River Dove flowing to the south. Palgrave and Occold are smaller, linear villages, their development historically linked to agriculture and the former railway line.

The area is defined by quiet rural lanes and dispersed farmsteads. A notable local feature is the series of restored windmills, including one at Occold, which punctuate the skyline. The disused railway path now serves as a recreational route for walking and cycling, connecting the communities. Economic activity remains strongly tied to the land, with a mix of traditional farming and newer horticultural enterprises operating across the parishes.
