Map of the UK

Ellough is a tiny rural parish in East Suffolk in Suffolk, England, set among arable fields and hedgerows a few miles from the market towns of Beccles and Halesworth. It feels sparsely populated and quietly local, with few services of its own and a close‑knit, residential character that leans on nearby towns for shops, schools and community life.

Its most notable feature is the former Second World War airfield at Ellough, now home to a business and light‑aviation hub often called Beccles Airfield, which gives the parish an unusual mix of light industry alongside traditional farming. The area has medieval roots and its lanes, footpaths and proximity to The Broads and the Suffolk coast make it typical of the quieter, historic Suffolk countryside.
