Assington

Assington lies along the A134 between Sudbury and Colchester, making it a convenient stop for drivers crossing the Essex-Suffolk border. Most visitors arrive via the A12, then take the A134 through Colchester, whilst locals use the same route for daily commutes to Sudbury or connections to the Stour Valley line at Bures. With approximately 70 public fast chargers nearby, it's well-placed for electric vehicle drivers. The village church houses a remarkable 14th-century wall painting of St. Christopher, discovered during 1960s restoration work.
