Region
An outstanding destination from an economic viewpoint, Haverhill is also positioned in some of the most attractive countryside in the East of England. Renowned for its big skies and the wonderful light so beloved of Gainsborough and Constable, Suffolk offers fabulous natural resources providing endless choice for outdoor activities.
Haverhill is close to many world-class attractions like the University of Cambridge, the Fitzwilliam Museum and the Imperial War Museum at Duxford. Newmarket racecourse, home of British horseracing, is only ten miles away and the historic towns of Bury St. Edmunds and Colchester are within easy striking distance.
The immediate area delivers a wealth of atmosphere and a unique calendar of events including the Cambridge Film Festival, medieval jousting at Hedingham's 11th century castle and all the splendour of the proms at Audley End House.
Haverhill is located just 40 minutes away from Europe's fastest growing airport at Stansted, which connects with over 160 destinations in over 35 countries.
To the east, the world famous wool towns of Clare, Melford, and Lavenham, with their timber-framed cottages and antique shops, stretch like a necklace between Haverhill and the Suffolk coast.
In contrast, the region is also associated with the thrills, spills and glamour of motor sport at Snetterton Circuit and Santa Pod Raceway. Indeed, Haverhill has its very own automotive cluster with Pace Products, Pro Alloy Motor Sport, Ultra Precision and Taylor's Motor Sports all operating from within the town.
All this and space to breathe...
The East of England has been described as a 'hotspot' of culture, sport and entertainment offering a quality of life second to none.
