Herringswell is an attractive small village set in the Suffolk countryside in between the horse racing town of Newmarket and historic cathedral city of Bury St Edmunds. The village benefits from excellent road connections via the A14 and A11 dual carriageways, Bury St Edmunds being just 12 miles west, the horseracing town of Newmarket being approximately 8 miles east, the university city of Cambridge again 22 miles to the east. The A14 and A11 also provides good access to the east coast ports, the midlands and Stansted airport (44 Miles) and London via the M11.
