Buxton is a small riverside village in the district of Broadland, in Norfolk, England. It sits on the banks of the River Bure, a few miles north of Norwich and close to Aylsham, putting it on the fringe of the Norfolk Broads and its network of waterways.
The village has a long rural history with traditional cottages, a village church and local pubs, and its economy mixes agriculture with commuters travelling to Norwich and a modest amount of leisure tourism thanks to boating, fishing and walking on the nearby Broads. Social life is typically village-centred, with community events and river-based pastimes important to residents, giving it a quietly picturesque, close-knit character.
