Garboldisham is a village and civil parish in the district of Breckland in Norfolk, England, lying close to the border with Suffolk. It sits within the characteristic Breckland landscape of sandy soils, heaths and mixed farmland, with pockets of parkland and woodland that give it a distinctly rural, low‑lying character.
Historically the settlement grew around agriculture and a country estate - Garboldisham Hall and its parkland remain local landmarks - and a medieval parish church testifies to earlier origins. The local economy is still largely agricultural, complemented by small businesses and commuters to nearby towns, while community life centres on the church, village hall and seasonal events with an active interest in conserving local heritage and landscape.
