Occold Suffolk Map

About Occold

Occold rests within the gentle embrace of Mid Suffolk's countryside. It lies 3.2 km south-south-east of Eye (from Eye: bearing 164°T, OS grid TM 155 708), and is situated north-east of Thorndon village. The very air here seems to hold a soft, diffused light, filtering through the ancient oaks that mark its boundaries, a light that might have fallen upon Saxon fields centuries ago. A quiet stream, often no more than a whisper of water over smooth stones, meanders through the parish, feeding the fertile land where crops have been coaxed from the earth for generations. The village itself, a scattering of dwellings around a modest church, possesses a timeless quality, as if time itself has slowed its hurried pace to match the languid flow of the Waveney Valley, a short distance beyond. The scent of damp earth after a summer shower, mingled with the distant fragrance of ripening grain, is the prevailing perfume of Occold.
