Horsford is a village and civil parish in the Broadland district of Norfolk, England, lying a few miles north of Norwich. It has a compact historic core set among rolling arable countryside and commons, notably Horsford Common, with a mix of traditional cottages, a parish church and more modern housing as the village has expanded as a commuter base for the city.
Historically agricultural, the local economy now combines small businesses, services and commuting to nearby urban centres, while village life remains active with community groups, a primary school, pubs and regular events; the setting and surviving historic buildings give Horsford a distinctly Norfolk village character despite its proximity to Norwich.
