About

Beccles & Worlingham ward encompasses the historic market town of Beccles and its neighbouring parish. The settlement is defined by the River Waveney, which forms the northern boundary with Norfolk. The town centre retains a mix of independent shops and businesses around its traditional marketplace and narrow streets. The area includes residential suburbs and the separate village of Worlingham to the south, with a landscape that transitions into open farmland.

A notable landmark is the detached, 16th-century bell tower of St Michael's Church, which stands separate from the main church building. The town's quay on the Waveney provides a focus for boating and riverside walks. The ward contains several industrial estates and Beccles Airport, a centre for general aviation. The surrounding parishes are primarily agricultural, with the A146 providing a key transport link through the area.
