North Cove is a village and civil parish in the Waveney district in the north of the English county of Suffolk. The village is on the A146 around east of Beccles and west of Lowestoft. It merges with the village of Barnby although the two parishes retain separate parish councils. The village is on the edge of the Broads and to the south of the River Waveney. The East Suffolk Line runs on the northern edge of the village, although the nearest station is at Beccles. Bus routes include X2, SJL5 and BR001 ==History== North Cove is not mentioned in the Domesday Book, although Barnby is described as a medium sized village at this time, and it is likely that the parish was part of Worlingham at this time.〔Scarfe.N (1981) 'Notes by Norman Scarfe on Domesday Book's evidence touching Worlingham, North Cove and their early churches', ''Annual Report'', vol. 13, 1980-81, pp.7-9, Lowestoft Archaeological Society ((available online )).
