Belstead Suffolk Map

About Belstead

Belstead rests in the heart of Suffolk's gently rolling countryside. It lies 4.4 km south-west of Ipswich (from Ipswich: bearing 224°T, OS grid TM 133 412), and is situated east-south-east of Washbrook village. The quietude of Belstead is often punctuated by the distant hum of Ipswich, a reminder of its proximity to the county town, yet it maintains an air of self-contained repose. Its lanes, often canopied by ancient trees, offer glimpses of well-tended gardens and houses that speak of a long, unbroken habitation, where the light falls with a particular softness across the fields in the late afternoon. The village church, St. Mary's, stands as a quiet sentinel, its stone worn smooth by centuries of weather and devotion, a focal point around which the modest life of Belstead has always revolved.
