Scoulton is a small, rural village and civil parish in the Breckland district of Norfolk, England, best known for its quiet countryside and the nearby Scoulton Mere, a kettle hole lake that attracts birdlife and anglers. The landscape around the village is classic Breckland - open arable fields, pockets of heath and bog - giving it a sense of wide skies and seasonal change rather than dense settlement.
Historically the village grew around farming and its parish church, and that agricultural legacy still shapes local life; many residents work the land or commute to larger towns and Norwich. A small, close-knit community and the natural appeal of the meres make Scoulton a quiet draw for walkers and wildlife enthusiasts rather than heavy tourism.
