Blofield Heath is a small residential village in the district of Broadland, in the county of Norfolk, England. It lies on the eastern fringe of the city of Norwich, set in a semi-rural landscape of remnant heath, farmland and woodland and within easy reach of the waterways of the Norfolk Broads.
Historically the name reflects the once-common heathland; over the 19th and 20th centuries the area developed into a commuter and local-service village. Today it retains a quiet, community-orientated character with a mix of local shops, small businesses and agricultural surroundings, and is popular with people seeking countryside living while remaining close to the amenities of nearby towns.
