About

Stowupland, Mendlesham, and Bacton form a cluster of rural villages in the Mid Suffolk district. The landscape is characterised by gently rolling farmland, interspersed with areas of woodland and heath. Settlements are centred around historic church towers and village greens, with residential development often extending along former main roads.
