Melton is a small village and civil parish in the district of East Suffolk, in the county of Suffolk, England. It sits on the south bank of the River Deben estuary and is tucked beside the historic market town of Woodbridge, with the larger centre of Ipswich within easy commuting distance. The riverside setting gives Melton attractive estuary views and easy access to watersports.
Locally the economy and character are strongly shaped by maritime activity - boatyards, sailing and small craft services - alongside a mix of residential communities and rural land. Melton benefits from proximity to major heritage sites, notably the Anglo‑Saxon burial grounds at Sutton Hoo, and offers a blend of quiet village life, scenic walking along the Deben and links to nearby market towns and historic attractions.
