This area is mostly rural with significant urban areas at Felixstowe, Ipswich, Woodbridge, Wickham Market, Stowmarket, Saxmundham, Halesworth, Southwold and Kessingland. Agriculture is the predominant land use within the area. Other pockets of industry exist, including food processing, milling, malting and the manufacture of farm machinery and fertilisers.
