Reydon

Reydon is a village and civil parish, north-west of Southwold and south-east of Wangford, in Waveney District and the ceremonial county of Suffolk in England. It had a population of 2,567, rising minimally to 2,582 at the 2011 Census. The name probably means Rye Hill, Rey meaning rye and -don being an old English word for hill or rise). The village is close to the cliffs at Easton Bavents, and like the lost village of Easton, it was established before Southwold was. The parish church is St Margaret of Antioch.

There are three main roads through Reydon, around which the village is built. These are:

  • A1095 Halesworth Road heading west (Leading to Blythburgh and Halesworth)
  • B1126 Wangford Road heading northwest through Reydon (Leading to Wangford)
  • B1127 Lowestoft Road heading northeast (Leading to Wrentham and Lowestoft)

The village of Reydon lies to the north of the town of Southwold. The three roads from Wangford, Wrentham and Halesworth converge at Reydon Corner, about 100 m from where Mights Bridge crosses Buss Creek, providing the only road bridge entry to Southwold.
