Old Catton is a historic village on the northern fringe of Norwich, lying within the Broadland district of Norfolk, England. It retains a village feel with tree-lined streets, a conservation area and a mix of Victorian and 20th-century housing, together with parish amenities and nearby parkland that make it popular with families and commuters.
Sprowston West forms the western side of the larger Sprowston suburb and is primarily residential, featuring inter‑war and post‑war estates, local schools, shopping parades and small businesses; there are also employment areas at its edges and good road links into Norwich, giving it a practical, family‑orientated character within Broadland.
