Longham is a small village and civil parish in the district of Breckland, in rural Norfolk, England. Set among arable fields and pockets of characteristic Breckland heath, it has a quiet layout of lanes, farms and a handful of older cottages and buildings, and sits within easy reach of larger market towns and the city of Norwich and the Norfolk coast.
Historically an agricultural parish with medieval roots visible in its older buildings, the local economy remains largely farming‑based while some residents commute to nearby towns; community life is typical of small Norfolk villages, centred on local events, walking, birdwatching and a strong sense of local identity and conservation.
