Map of the UK

Middleton is a small, rural parish in East Suffolk in the county of Suffolk, set within the low-lying farmland and hedgerow landscape typical of this part of East Anglia. It lies within easy reach of the coast and the quieter stretches of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, so it benefits from good walking country and seasonal birdlife on nearby marshes.

Historically rooted in agriculture, the settlement retains a handful of older buildings and a classic village feel; farming still plays a big part in the local economy, supplemented by residents who commute to larger towns and by low-key rural tourism. Social life tends to be village-centred, with community events, parish activities and an atmosphere that appeals to people seeking a peaceful Suffolk village rather than a bustling urban centre.
