Blofield is a village and civil parish in the district of Broadland, in Norfolk, England, lying roughly seven miles north‑east of Norwich. The parish includes the neighbouring settlements of Blofield Heath and Blofield Common and sits on the edge of the county’s low-lying claylands and marshes, with easy access to the waterways of the Broads National Park and tributaries such as the River Bure.
Historically agricultural, the village retains a handsome medieval parish church and a compact centre with pubs, a primary school and an active village hall. Today it is largely a commuter community for Norwich while still supporting local farming, small businesses and a lively range of community groups and events.
