Alderton is a small village and civil parish in the East Suffolk district of Suffolk, England. It sits on gently undulating agricultural land a short distance from the North Sea coast, roughly between Aldeburgh and Orford, and benefits from easy access to coastal marshes, the Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB and the wildlife of Orford Ness.
With medieval roots visible in its parish church and a core of traditional flint and timber houses, the village retains a strong rural character. The local economy is still based on farming but includes small businesses and rural tourism, with walkers and birdwatchers drawn to the area and visitors using it as a quiet base for events at Snape Maltings and the wider cultural life around Aldeburgh. Community life is centred on village activities and local events, giving Alderton a close‑knit, village atmosphere.
