Welcome to the Kedington Parish Council
Web Site |

We hope you find this site both useful and informative.
Kedington is a village of around 1800 residents, situated
between Clare and Haverhill in the south-west corner of
Suffolk. The City of Cambridge and towns of Newmarket and Bury
St. Edmunds are all about 30 minutes away by
road.
There are several shops, including a post office and
butcher in the centre of the village, but if you need to go
further afield, then there are buses that go to Haverhill,
Cambridge and Bury St. Edmunds, several times a day. We also have a
library, a couple of pubs and a doctor's surgery.
The village boasts many organisations catering for lots of
interests and most can be found on the 'Clubs and Organisations'
page within this site.
