Yoxford is a village in East Suffolk, England, close to the Heritage Coast, Minsmere Reserve (RSPB), Aldeburgh and Southwold. It is known for its antique shops and (as "Loxford") for providing the setting for a Britten opera.
The name 'Yoxford' comes from Old English geoc-ford meaning "yoke ford", probably indicating that the ford was wide enough for a yoke of oxen to pass through.
