Location
Kimberley is located along the Melton Hill, just a short walking distance from the centre of the popular and historic market town of Woodbridge as well as the River Deben.  Melton itself is a popular village with a well supported primary school, large playingfield with tennis courts and children’s play equipment, good pub/restaurant, The Coach and Horses, an independent village shop, small petrol station and Spar convenience store.  

Woodbridge is probably best known for its outstanding riverside setting. It is also a very popular market town, offering a good choice of schooling in both the state and private sectors, a wide variety of shops and restaurants, a cinema/theatre and marina. Both Melton and Woodbridge also benefit from rail links to Ipswich, where Inter City rail services to London’s Liverpool Street station take just over the hour. The popular Heritage Coastline destinations of Orford and Aldeburgh are approximately 10 miles and 15 miles respectively. The County Town of Ipswich is approximately 8 miles to the south-west. 

Directions
From the centre of Woodbridge proceed in a north-easterly direction along the Thoroughfare (B1438).  Pass the turning to Pytches Road on your left and Kimberley will be found a short way along on the right  hand side.
