Rushmere St. Andrew is a village and civil parish adjacent to part of the eastern edge of the borough of Ipswich in the Suffolk Coastal district of Suffolk, England. The parish includes the Ipswich suburbs of Rushmere Heath and parts of the Broke Hall as well as the village of Rushmere St. Andrew, from which it draws its name.

Rushmere Common

Rushmere Common, also known locally as Rushmere heath is a large area of common land which dominates much of the south-east of the parish. Home to the Rushmere Golf Club and bordered by Playford Road, Heath Road and the Broke Hall Estate the common is an area enjoyed by walkers and cyclists alike who take advantage of its wide open spaces and footpaths including the Sandhills Walk which starts on the common and ends in Southwold 60 miles away on the north Suffolk coast.^[1]

Sport

The village is home to a number of sports clubs and associations and was for many years a base for a number of the sports and social clubs of local businesses such as Willis(now Rushmere Sports Club) and Crane Fluid Systems Sports and Social Club which is in turn now part of the Ipswich Town F.C. training and academy complex. Ipswich Rugby Club and Ipswich YM Rugby Club are also in the parish along with Ipswich Wanderers Football Club.
