The Melton ward sits on the banks of the River Deben in the district of East Suffolk, county of Suffolk, England. It mixes riverside marshland and village streets, with a largely residential and commuter population who travel to nearby Woodbridge and Ipswich, while agriculture and small local firms continue to shape the local economy.
The riverside setting makes the area popular for sailing, walking and birdwatching along the Deben estuary, and it lies close to the internationally important Anglo‑Saxon burial site at Sutton Hoo and nature reserves such as Havergate Island. Community life is lively for a small ward, with local groups, conservation activity and a mix of historic cottages and more recent housing giving a distinctly rural‑yet-connected character.
