Location: Brantham is a large village in the Stour Valley set between the Suffolk Coasts and Heath and Dedham Vale National Landscapes (aonb's).

The river forms one of its boundaries and it is surrounded by picturesque countryside including the villages of Stutton, Tattingstone, East Bergholt and Flatford (famous for inspiring many paintings of John Constable and known as Constable Country).

The village is ideally situated halfway between Ipswich, the county town of Suffolk, and historic Colchester, Essex.

Their shops, facilities, bars, restaurants and nightlife are easily accessed by public transport as well as by car.

Manningtree, reputedly the smallest market town in England, lies across the River Stour and its railway only some 20 - 25 minute walk provides fast links to London, Norwich, the ports of Harwich and Felixstowe, and the beautiful beaches.

Brantham is lucky that it has many amenities including, churches, pubs, a co-op, a cafe, a vet, three play areas, a preschool and primary school.
