Brundon is a hamlet in the civil parish of Sudbury, in the Babergh district, in the English county of Suffolk. It is located on the River Stour near the town of Sudbury (its post town). For transport there is the A131 road nearby. Brundon is now popular among local walkers owing to its proximity to the Sudbury water meadows. Brundon was recorded in the Domesday Book as Branduna.
