Although Copdock and Washbrook are two names, they are treated as one village, with one Parish Council and one Parochial Church Council.  Copdock & Washbrook may be one of the longest village names in Suffolk, but  the inhabitants are proud of it, and frown upon shortenings such as Copwash or Washdock!
 
The village lies approximately three miles south of Ipswich just off the A12 London trunk road, and
about fourteen miles north of Colchester.

There are two churches within the village, both C of E.  St Peter's Copdock which holds services most Sundays and St Mary's Washbrook, which is redundant and under the care of the  Churches Conservation Trust, but still holds one or two services a year, and can be used for weddings under special licence.

The village is fortunate in having many sport and felowship clubs, details are listed in this site. There is a good network of footpaths which are well maintained, thanks to the Footpath Committee of the Parish Council.
