Westleton is a small village and civil parish in East Suffolk, Suffolk, England, set on the edge of low, open heathland that forms part of the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It sits close to internationally important wildlife sites such as Minsmere and the local Westleton Heath nature reserve, and walkers often use the nearby Sandlings Walk to explore the sandy heaths and coastal landscapes.
The village itself retains a tucked-away, traditional character with cottages, a village green and a medieval church, St Peter's Church, at its heart. The local economy mixes agriculture with tourism - birdwatchers and nature-lovers are frequent visitors - while a small, active community maintains village events and amenities that keep it distinctly rural and social.
