A market town on the River Blyth with a long, narrow Thoroughfare of timber-framed and Georgian-fronted buildings, many of them listed, and a ring of Victorian and later housing around it. The villages nearby, Wenhaston, Holton, Walpole, Cratfield, Huntingfield and Heveningham itself, are brick, flint, render and pantile.
