Ashill is a small rural village in the Breckland district of Norfolk, England, set among the arable fields and pockets of heath that characterise the Brecks. The landscape of sandy soils, quiet lanes and hedgerows gives it a distinctly agricultural feel and plenty of opportunities for walking and wildlife watching.
Historically a farming community, Ashill retains traditional village features - a parish church, village hall and occasional local events - while its economy now mixes agriculture with a few small enterprises and commuters who travel to larger centres for work. Social life tends to be centred on community activities and seasonal gatherings, so it feels like a typical close-knit Norfolk village rather than a tourist destination.
