Ashill is a small, rural village and civil parish in the Breckland district of Norfolk, England, set in the characteristic Brecks landscape of sandy soils, farmland and pockets of heath and woodland. The settlement has a compact, village feel with traditional amenities such as a village hall and parish church, and a handful of listed buildings that hint at medieval and post‑medieval roots.
Locally the economy remains strongly agricultural, but many residents commute to nearby market towns such as Thetford and Watton or to the regional centre of Norwich; the surrounding countryside also makes it popular with walkers and cyclists exploring the Brecks and nearby woodlands. Community life tends to centre on seasonal events and activities that reflect its rural character and long local history.
