About

Carlford & Fynn Valley is a predominantly rural ward in East Suffolk, characterised by a network of villages and hamlets set amidst farmland. The area centres on the settlements of Grundisburgh, Clopton, and Hasketon, with the River Fynn flowing through the valley. Land use is primarily agricultural, with fields and wooded areas defining the landscape. The ward contains several historic churches and traditional Suffolk houses built with flint and timber.

The area is known for its walking routes along the Fynn Valley path, which connects the communities.
