Suffolk ,England . It has about 310 people living in it, in around 120 households. Its nearest towns areIpswich (6 miles/9.6 km away) andWoodbridge (2.6 miles/4.1 km away). Nearby villages includeLittle Bealings , Playford,Culpho ,Hasketon andGrundisburgh . The village does not have an obvious centre, and the population is split between 2 areas - one around Lower Street to the East of the village, and the other at Boot Street/Grundisburgh Road to the West of the village. St Mary's, the village church, is about in the middle of these two centres of population.Great Bealings was, for many years, the home of John Ganzoni, Lord Belstead.
The
River Lark passes through the middle of the village, and is crossed by the main road with a hump back bridge which is sufficiently "humped" to be the cause of accidents to people trying to drive over it too fast.Images of Great Bealings
