Halvergate is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of Broadland, in Norfolk, England. It lies on the edge of the low-lying Halvergate Marshes, part of the wider The Broads landscape between Norwich and Great Yarmouth, so the setting is famously flat and open with a network of drainage dykes and winding lanes.
The marshes around Halvergate are an important area for wildlife and conservation - extensive grazing marsh and wetlands that attract waders and birds of prey - and are designated for protection within the Broads. Local life and the economy have long been shaped by agriculture, drainage and conservation, with a steady trickle of walkers and birdwatchers visiting for the scenery and wildlife rather than any busy commercial centre. Historically the character of the place reflects centuries of land reclamation and traditional rural building styles.
