Weeting is a small village and civil parish in the district of Breckland, in Norfolk, England. Set in the distinctive Breckland landscape of sandy soils, gorse and open heath close to the Norfolk–Suffolk border, it has a predominantly rural character where agriculture remains important and many residents commute to nearby market towns.
The village is best known for the earthworks and ruins of Weeting Castle, a medieval motte-and-bailey, and for surrounding heathland that forms part of the Breckland conservation area valued by birdwatchers for species such as nightjar, woodlark and stone curlew. Socially it retains a compact community feel with a historic parish church and local amenities, and it attracts walkers and nature enthusiasts exploring the unique Breckland environment.
