Straddling the transition between the ancient market town of Woodbridge and the busier fringes of Ipswich, Martlesham is a village of two distinct halves. The "old" village sits quietly in the valley, where the Red Lion pub marks a historic crossroads and the creek offers a connection to the River Deben’s tidal waters. In contrast, the newer developments at Martlesham Heath occupy a former World War II airfield, famous for its history as a testing site for legendary aircraft like the Spitfire and Hurricane. Today, this upper part of the village is defined by its extensive heathland walks and its proximity to Adastral Park, a major hub for global telecommunications and innovation. While the village has grown significantly to accommodate modern life, it remains deeply connected to the surrounding Suffolk landscape, offering easy access to the coast and the quiet, sandy paths of the nearby pine forests.
