Map of the UK

The village and civil parish of Sudbourne sits in the district of East Suffolk in rural Suffolk, England. It occupies farmland close to the Alde estuary and the coast, within the broad landscape of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB, with the striking shingle spit of Orford Ness and nearby salt marshes making the area especially rich for birdlife and popular with walkers and nature‑lovers.

Locally the economy is largely agricultural, shaped by estate landscapes and scattered hamlets, while low‑key tourism around coastal walking and wildlife contributes in season. The parish bears a layered history - a former country house and estate once dominated the area and village buildings have medieval roots - and its quiet lanes and churchyard give a strong sense of Suffolk’s rural heritage close to Orford and the coast.
