About

Rattlesden ward encompasses the village of the same name along with the smaller settlements of Drinkstone and Woolpit Green. This primarily agricultural area features a mix of arable farmland, pasture, and pockets of woodland. The landscape is gently rolling, shaped by the upper valleys of the River Gipping and its tributaries. Settlement is mostly concentrated within the historic village cores, with more recent development extending outwards along the main roads.

The ward's social and commercial activities are centred on the village halls, local pubs, and the primary school in Rattlesden. The area is known for its network of public footpaths connecting the communities and traversing the farmland. Woolpit Green is notably home to a historic former railway station building, a remnant of the long-closed Great Eastern Railway line that once served the area, now repurposed as a private residence.
