Haverhill is the name of a number of different places in the world:
Haverhill is a thriving and popular market town, the fastest growing in Suffolk, and is one of the most convenient towns for access to Cambridge, 17 miles, London, and Stansted Airport around 30 minutes drive, the M11 corridor and mainline railway stations to Liverpool Street (Audley End 12 miles). Haverhill is a very affordable town and has been the subject of a lot of very good public investment. There is a twice-weekly market, out-of-town shopping including Sainsbury's and Tesco, restaurants, social clubs, hotels, 18-hole golf course, and a comprehensive nursery and schooling system. There is also an excellent sports centre, a number of churches, and a recent multiplex cinema complex.

In Suffolk right by the county borders of Cambridgeshire and Essex is where you'll find the market town of Haverhill. Dating back to at least Saxon times, the town's market was even recorded in the Domesday Book in the 11th Century. Although most of it notable historical buildings were destroyed in a fire in the 17th Century, one Tudor building remains; Anne of Cleves house. Haverhill is a thriving industrial town with a large industrial area and factory plants, although it still stays true to its roots with a weekly market every Saturday.
