Longham is a small, rural civil parish in the district of Breckland, Norfolk, England. Set within the distinctive Brecks landscape of sandy soils, dry heaths and pine plantations, the parish is characterised by scattered farms, arable fields and nearby pockets of woodland such as Thetford Forest.
Historically agricultural with medieval roots, Longham retains old farmsteads and field patterns rather than many services, so residents commonly travel to nearby market towns for shops and work. Community life tends to revolve around farming rhythms, seasonal village activities and the countryside appeal that draws walkers and wildlife enthusiasts.
