Welcome to Cattawade

Cattawade is a small village located in the county of Suffolk, England. It is situated on the banks of the River Stour, which forms the border between Suffolk and Essex. The village is known for its picturesque countryside, with rolling hills and lush green fields. It is a popular destination for tourists who come to enjoy the natural beauty of the area.

The village of Cattawade has a rich history, dating back to the Roman era. The area was once a major trading hub, with goods being transported along the river to the nearby town of Colchester. Today, the village is home to a number of historic buildings, including the 12th-century St. Margaret's Church and the Cattawade Marshes Nature Reserve. The reserve is a haven for wildlife, with a variety of birds, mammals, and insects making their home in the wetlands.

There are also several community events held throughout the year, including a summer fete and a Christmas market. The village is a peaceful and welcoming place, with a strong sense of tradition and a deep connection to the natural world.
