Bacton is a small rural village and civil parish in Mid Suffolk, in the county of Suffolk in East Anglia, England. It lies amid the rolling arable farmland and small copses typical of the region, with a scattering of traditional flint and timber houses and a number of listed buildings that reflect a long local history.
Historically centred on agriculture, the community still revolves around a village hall, occasional local events and the medieval parish church and farmsteads that hint at centuries of settlement; many residents commute to nearby market towns while enjoying country lanes and footpaths popular with walkers and naturalists.
