It lies on the north bank of the River Waveney.

The parish church of St Andrew was rebuilt in the 1960s after a fire raiser had burnt it. There is an east window by Patrick Reyntiens, 1963.[3]

Scole is the birthplace of William Gooderham (1792) and Ezekiel Gooderham (1794), founders of the Gooderham and Worts distillery in Toronto, Canada, later to be the largest in the British Empire.

An electoral ward in the same name exists. This ward stretches east to Needham and at the 2011 Census had a total population of 2,357.[4]
