The village of Westleton lies a short way inland from the coast at Dunwich. It has everything you would expect of a typical English country village, a village green complete with duck pond, 2 public houses a tearoom and lovely quaint cottages and shops.

The village sign was erected by the carnival committee in 1963 and is unusual in that it was built using parts from the Westleton post mill that was demolished in that year. I believe the post was originally part of the sail frame of the mill.

A pair of old water pumps adorn the village green.

Westleton's Jubilee village hall and war memorial.

The war memorial, erected to the 18 men of Westleton who lost their lives in the Great War and 3 men from the Second World War.

The Crown Inn at Westleton is the oldest working coaching inn in England. It is possible to hire a coach and horses from the inn for trips around the Suffolk countryside.

18 lime trees in memory of the 18 men of Westleton who lost their lives in the Great War surround the village pond.

The church of St Peter, a church has probably stood on this site since Saxon times. The monks of nearby Sibton Abbey rebuilt the present church in around 1340.

St Peter's once possessed a large tower with 8 bells but this collapsed in 1770. A smaller tower was built on its foundations but was rendered unsafe by a landmine during the Second World War. The present bell-cote was erected in the early 1960s.

This magnificent stained glass window adorns the church, the figure on the left is St Felix and on the right is St George.

Westleton Heath standing to the east of the village is a National Nature Reserve and attracts a wide range of heath land birds such as Stonechat, Nightjar and Woodlark to name but a few. The Heath is the only lowland heath in the country where the heather in managed, by burning, where blocks of heather are burned thus creating different age structures of heather, which is more beneficial to the wildlife.
