Morton is a small, quietly rural village in the district of Broadland in Norfolk, England, set in the low-lying, gently undulating countryside typical of the county. It sits within easy reach of the city of Norwich and the waterways and wildlife of the Norfolk Broads, which makes the area popular with walkers, birdwatchers and people looking for a peaceful base close to nature.
Locally the settlement has a strong agricultural character, with arable fields, farm buildings and a scattering of historic cottages and farmhouses reflecting centuries of rural life. Socially it retains the feel of a close-knit village community with the kinds of village halls, seasonal fetes and parish activities you find across rural Norfolk, while many residents commute to nearby towns for work or are involved in tourism, conservation and small-scale local enterprises.
