The semi rural village of Hitcham is predominately surrounded by undulating farmland with village stores and post office. The larger village of Bildeston is approximately 2 miles distance offering a wider range of shopping and recreational facilities including pubs and restaurants. The market towns of Hadleigh and Stowmarket are a short drive, both offering a much wider range of shopping and recreational facilities with Stowmarket providing main line rail link to London's Liverpool Street and easy access onto the A14 trunk road.\r
