North West Cosford

North West Cosford ward encompasses a collection of rural villages and hamlets within the Babergh district. The area is characterised by agricultural land, wooded areas, and the meandering valleys of small rivers. Settlements like Kersey and Lindsey are defined by their historic cores, with timber-framed buildings and quiet lanes. The landscape includes areas of mixed farming and pockets of ancient woodland, contributing to a predominantly open and green environment.

The geography is shaped by watercourses such as the Brett and the Chad Brook, which influence the settlement pattern. A notable network of public footpaths and bridleways connects the communities, traversing fields and woodlands. The ward's structure is decentralised, with each village maintaining its own distinct identity and community focus, set within a wider agricultural context.
