Part of Babergh district, it is located on the A134 (Assington Road) between Sudbury and Colchester, around three miles from the former.

Church Road leads north off A134 towards Newton Hall and All Saints Church (both 1 km from the village centre).

Unusually, the village green to the south and west has been converted to a 9-hole common land course in 1907.

Residents are entitled to membership of the local golf club, though are limited to using the holes on the village green and cannot use the clubhouse.

The small hamlet of Sackers Green is also within the parish.
