Alderton is a small village and civil parish in the East Suffolk district of Suffolk, England, lying a short distance inland from the county's east coast. Set among arable fields and hedgerows, it has the low‑lying coastal landscape characteristic of this part of Suffolk and is popular with walkers and birdwatchers who come for its quiet lanes and rural views.
Historically agricultural, Alderton retains a village feel with traditional cottages and a parish community centred on local events, a village hall and the pub. The local economy remains rooted in farming but is supplemented by tourism, some second homes and commuters to nearby towns, while conservation and heritage considerations shape development and community life.
