Location

Ixworth is an attractive and thriving Suffolk village offering a range of local facilities rarely found in a village of today, including a doctors surgery, shop, two public houses, two Churches, primary school and a free-school. Within 7 miles is the picturesque, thriving market town of Bury St Edmunds which brings together the old and the new. The town boasts a great collection of venues for eating, drinking, shopping, and relaxing, making it a great place to live, work, visit and study.

Bury St Edmunds, with its impressive market every Wednesday and Saturday, is nestled in the heart of Suffolk and arguably the crown of East Anglia. It is known for the Abbey Gardens, a ruined abbey right in the town centre. Bury is a very popular destination for locals and tourists to the area. Visit the old side of the town to see the Cathedral in all its glory, the medieval quarter of the town and the Abbey Gardens itself, or browse the newer side of the town to discover its large assortment of shops, restaurants and entertainment centres.
