Eye

Eye () is a market town and civil parish in the north of the English county of Suffolk, about 4 miles south of Diss, 17.5 miles north of Ipswich and 23 miles south-west of Norwich. The estimated population in 2018 was 2,347. It lies close to the River Waveney, which forms the border with Norfolk, and on the River Dove. Eye is twinned with the town of Pouzauges in the Vendée department of France.

The town of Eye derives its name from the Old English word for "island, land by water" It is thought that the first settlement on the site was almost surrounded by water and marshland formed by the Dove and its tributaries. The area remains prone to flooding in areas close to the river.
