About

Halesworth & Blything ward covers a largely rural expanse in north-east Suffolk, characterised by farmland, small villages, and areas of woodland. The market town of Halesworth serves as the central hub, with its historic core centred on the Thoroughfare. The River Blyth, from which the Blything area takes its name, flows through the landscape, connecting several settlements within the ward's boundaries.

The terrain is gently undulating, typical of High Suffolk, with the ward extending towards the Suffolk Sandlings in the east. A notable feature is the Southwold Railway trackbed, now a popular walking and cycling path, which runs from Halesworth towards the coast. The economy is mixed, with agriculture remaining significant alongside local commerce, light industry, and tourism related to the surrounding countryside.
