The pleasant Suffolk village of Kedington is most notable for its beautiful medieval church, St Peter and St Paul. Built on the site of a Roman villa, the church dates from the late 13th century. English poet John Betjeman named it as 'a village Westminster Abbey.'

The village is on the Stour Valley Path long-distance trail. Walkers can refuel at the Barnardiston Arms pub, which serves good food. There is no formal accommodation in the village. A short walk to the east is the Plough Inn, which has rooms.
