Welcome to Martlesham Heath

Martlesham Heath is a small village located in the county of Suffolk, England. The village is situated approximately three miles east of Ipswich and is known for its rich history and beautiful countryside. The village was originally a heathland area that was used for grazing livestock, but it was later developed into an airfield during World War I. Today, Martlesham Heath is a popular destination for tourists who are interested in exploring the village's history and natural beauty.

One of the most notable features of Martlesham Heath is its airfield, which was used by the Royal Flying Corps during World War I. The airfield was later used by the Royal Air Force during World War II and was home to several squadrons of fighter planes. Today, the airfield is no longer in use, but visitors can still see the remains of the old runways and hangars. The airfield is also home to a museum that showcases the history of aviation in the area.

In addition to its aviation history, Martlesham Heath is also known for its beautiful countryside. The village is surrounded by rolling hills and lush green fields, making it a popular destination for hikers and nature lovers. Visitors can explore the many walking trails that wind through the countryside, or they can simply relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Martlesham Heath is truly a hidden gem in the heart of Suffolk, and it is a must-visit destination for anyone who loves history, nature, and the great outdoors.
