Chelsworth is a small, picture-postcard village in the Babergh district of Suffolk, England, set in a scenic loop of the River Brett. Narrow lanes, a village green and a tight cluster of timber-framed and Georgian cottages give it a well preserved rural character much appreciated by walkers and photographers.
With medieval roots the village retains a compact historic core, centered on the village church, St Mary's, and several listed buildings including Chelsworth House. Agriculture and small-scale rural enterprises remain important to the local economy, while an active community keeps traditional events and a relaxed village social life alive.
