Facilities
The main part of the village is situated either side of the Ipswich to Shotley road (B1456). The village itself has no pubs, shops or Post Office; however it has a village hall, church and popular marina where there is a chandlery for provisions and a local bar and restaurant named Buttermans.
The area is served by primary schools at Chelmondiston, Holbrook, Tattingstone and Shotley and the nearest secondary school at Holbrook High School, which shares a site with the Peninsula Sports Centre.
There is a regular bus service (route 202) from Ipswich Old Cattle Market to Shotley Marina which passes through the village.
The parish church is dedicated to St Michael in the Church of England Diocese of St Edmundsbury & Ipswich

“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
