About

The Rickinghall, Walsham le Willows and Gislingham area sits in Mid Suffolk and is made up of small parishes, farms, lanes and village centres. Rickinghall and Botesdale form a close pair divided by the main road A143, while Walsham le Willows lies on the course of the River Black Bourn and Gislingham occupies gently rising arable land. Parish churches with medieval fabric, flint walls and timber-framed houses mark the historic cores. Narrow lanes, hedgerows and small copses shape the pattern of fields and link the settlements.

Local life is organised around village halls, primary schools, pubs and sports clubs; community events and volunteer groups use the network of footpaths and bridleways that cross the parish boundaries. The Black Bourn still feeds a series of village ponds in Walsham le Willows and several small streams, and farm gateways open directly onto public rights of way. Services are limited, so most residents travel by car, while local farmers manage arable crops, grassland and pockets of retained woodland that support farmland wildlife.
