Copdock is a sought-after village to the Southwest side of Ipswich which enjoys the best of both worlds, a quiet village location whilst within short driving distance to the county town of Ipswich which is rich with many amenities. The village has a primary school, parish church, village hall, public house, playing fields, and offers easy access to the A12 and A14 commuter trunk roads. There are excellent senior schools in nearby East Bergholt and Ipswich, train stations in Manningtree and Ipswich, a regular bus service connecting Copdock to Ipswich and Colchester, and local shopping facilities in neighbouring Capel St. Mary.
