Wickham Market is well located for exploring the Suffolk Heritage coastline and National Trust and Forestry Commission lands, as well as the unspoilt countryside and villages of Inland Suffolk.

The area is ideal for walking and cycling; the coast offers sailing and other watersports; there is scope for horseriding, with a well-known stables at the edge of the village; and there are a number of golf courses in the area.
