Monks Eleigh is a small parish village in Suffolk within the District of Babergh. It can be found just to the east of the point where the A1141 Lavenham to Hadleigh road meets the B1115 Sudbury to Stowmarket.

The village enjoys a prime rural aspect in the heart of Suffolk and is surrounded by open countryside. It is close to the old wool and cloth towns of Lavenham and Long Melford and picturesque villages such as Chelsworth and Kersey. Also within easy reach are the market towns of Hadleigh, Stowmarket and Sudbury. The main towns of Bury St Edmunds, Colchester and Ipswich are no more than a 30 minute drive away. Monks Eleigh is a small friendly village where you will find a Community Shop and Post Office, Church, Village School, Pub/Restaurant, Craft and Tea Shop, Playing Field and Millennium Green.
