About

Eye ward encompasses a largely rural portion of the central Suffolk landscape, characterised by open farmland, small woodland areas, and scattered villages. The area is centred on the historic market town of Eye, which provides a focal point for the surrounding parishes. The terrain is gently undulating, typical of the region, with fields and country lanes defining much of the scenery.

A notable landmark is the prominent motte of Eye Castle, which rises within the town and offers views over the rooftops. The local economy has traditional ties to agriculture, with the town maintaining a weekly market. The River Dove, a minor tributary, flows near the town, contributing to the area's drainage and pastoral setting.
