Lyng is a small rural village and civil parish in the Breckland district of Norfolk, England. It sits within the characteristic Breckland landscape of open arable fields and pockets of heath, and its origins stretch back to medieval times, reflected in a traditional parish church and a scattering of older cottages and farm buildings.
Today the local economy remains largely agricultural, with many residents also commuting to nearby market towns; community life tends to revolve around the parish hall, village events and the local pub, giving Lyng a quiet but socially active rural character.
