Map of the UK

Carlton Colville lies on the southern edge of Lowestoft in the district of East Suffolk, in Suffolk, England. The ward occupies flat, coastal countryside close to marshes and waterways that link into The Broads, so there are easy local walks and nature areas alongside the suburban streets and pockets of woodland.

Once a small village that expanded with 20th‑century housing, the area now reads as a commuter suburb of Lowestoft with a strong local identity: parish churches, schools, sports clubs and volunteer groups are active, while nearby town amenities and port‑related employment shape the local economy. Local shopping parades and community facilities give it a settled, village‑scale feel despite its ties to the surrounding town.
