It is around 2 miles (3.2 km) south-west of Bungay in the East Suffolk district and is one of the villages around Bungay which make up the area known as The Saints. The A143 road runs just to the north of the parish border linking Bungay with Harleston and Diss.
The north-western boundary of the parish is marked by the River Waveney on the Norfolk border. As well as Bungay, the parish borders the Suffolk parishes of St Cross South Elmham, St Margaret South Elmham, Homersfield, St Peter South Elmham and Ilketshall St Margaret and the Norfolk parishes of Earsham and Denton.[1] The parish council is joined with Flixton and St Cross and St Margaret South Elmham.[2]
