Cantley is a small village in the district of Broadland, Norfolk, England, lying a few miles east of Norwich on the edge of The Broads. The settlement is known for its long‑standing sugar beet works - a large processing factory that has been a major local employer and visual landmark - and the surrounding landscape is predominantly agricultural, with arable fields and fenland character.
The village sits close to marshes and the River Yare, which makes it attractive to walkers and birdwatchers and links it into the Broads' boating and wildlife network. Community life is typical of small Norfolk villages, with a tight‑knit population, local clubs and a village hall, while good road and rail connections make commuting to Norwich or the Norfolk coast straightforward.
