Welcome to Bentley

Our small but thriving, rural Suffolk village is located 6 miles south-west of Ipswich and is included in the Suffolk & Essex Coast and Heaths National Landscape. Part of Bentley is also included in the Bentley Conservation Area which was designated by Babergh District Council on 23 April 2025.

For useful information about living in Bentley, see Our Village pages.
