Hemley is a small village located in the county of Suffolk, England. It is part of the East Suffolk area. A village is a small community, and a civil parish is a local area with its own council.
Hemley is found close to the River Deben, which is a beautiful river in Suffolk. Nearby, you can find the larger town of Ipswich. There are also smaller villages like Waldringfield and Newbourne not far away.
In 2001, a count of people called a census showed that 66 people lived in Hemley. By 2011, the population was still less than 100. Because it's so small, Hemley's population figures are now often counted together with the nearby village of Newbourne.
