The small rural community of Horstead and Stanninghall sits in the district of Broadland in Norfolk, England, set alongside the River Bure. Nestled within the low-lying landscape of The Broads and close to Wroxham and Coltishall, it is within easy reach of Norwich and is popular for boating, riverside walks and wildlife watching.
Traditionally agricultural, the villages retain a quiet, historic feel with old mills and churches alongside more modern commuter homes; the local economy mixes farming with modest tourism tied to the waterways. Community life centres on village events, the village hall and outdoor pursuits, while conservation of the surrounding wetland habitat remains a local priority.
