Cranworth is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Breckland, Norfolk, England. It sits within the characteristic Breckland landscape of sandy soils, heath and mixed woodland and is surrounded by arable farmland; the settlement retains a traditional feel with flint and brick cottages clustered around a historic parish church and a small village green.
Historically rooted in the medieval manorial system, the local economy has long been agricultural, though many residents now commute to nearby towns. Community life is centred on the church, village hall and seasonal events, and the quiet lanes, historic buildings and proximity to Breckland's heathland make it a pleasant spot for walkers, birdwatchers and those seeking a peaceful slice of Norfolk countryside.
