Carlton Colville sits on the south‑western edge of Lowestoft in East Suffolk, Suffolk, England. It is a largely residential area that backs onto wetland and reserve land such as Carlton Marshes and lies within easy reach of the low‑lying fenland of The Broads and the Suffolk coast, giving a mix of suburban streets and accessible natural habitats.
The settlement grew from a small agricultural community into a sizeable commuter and local‑service parish during the 20th century, and today combines shops, schools and active community groups. Its marshes and reedbeds are a local asset, popular with birdwatchers and walkers, so the place manages to retain a village feel alongside modern housing and everyday amenities.
