Reydon is a village and civil parish, 1.0 mile (1.6 km) north-west of Southwold and 2.5 miles (4.0 km) south-east of Wangford, in the East Suffolk district and the ceremonial county of Suffolk, England. Its population of 2,567 in 2001 including Easton Bavents[1] eased up to 2,582 at the 2011 Census,[2] and was estimated at 2,772 in 2018.[3] The name probably means Rye Hill, Rey meaning rye and -don being an old word for hill or rise).[4] The village is close to the cliffs at Easton Bavents, a village now much eroded. Both were established before neighbouring Southwold. The parish church is St Margaret of Antioch.[5] The parish of Easton Bavents was merged with Reydon in 1987, when part of Southwold was also transferred.[6]
