Acle is a small market town in the district of Broadland, in the county of Norfolk, England. It sits beside the River Bure on the edge of the Norfolk Broads, roughly halfway between Norwich and Great Yarmouth, and has road and rail links that make it a handy gateway for boating and watersports.
Historically a crossing and market point, Acle still has a compact high street with independent shops, pubs and boatyards; its economy mixes agriculture, tourism and commuting. Community life blends rural traditions and leisure on the Broads, with marinas, riverside walks and a strong local interest in boating and river trade.
