Harling Road is a small, quiet rural spot in the district of Breckland in Norfolk, England, closely associated with the nearby villages of East Harling and West Harling. It sits amid the patchwork of arable fields and lanes that characterise much of the Breckland landscape and is best known locally for the modest railway halt on the Breckland Line, which gives a rural link into Norwich and Thetford.
Historically the locality grew up around farming and the transport link provided by the railway, and today it still feels like a traditional Norfolk back lane community: quiet, with a handful of houses, used by walkers and birdwatchers and by people commuting to larger towns. The area’s charm comes from its simple rural character and close ties to the surrounding village life rather than any grand built landmarks.
