About

Chilton ward is a primarily rural area within Mid Suffolk, characterised by open farmland and small settlements. The landscape is dominated by agricultural fields, with scattered farmsteads and woodland patches defining its boundaries. The ward includes the village of Chilton itself, along with the hamlets of Broad Green and Flowton, each contributing to a low-density population pattern. Residential development is modest, maintaining a strong connection to the surrounding agricultural economy and land use.

The area is bisected by the A1071 road, which provides a main transport link. A notable local feature is the historic Chilton Hall, a Grade I listed manor house set within its own parkland. Community life centres on the parish church and the village hall, with public footpaths allowing access across the fields. The overall character is one of a quiet, working countryside with a distinct historical presence embedded in its larger estates.
