Postwick is a small village and civil parish in the district of Broadland, Norfolk, in eastern England, lying a few miles east of Norwich on the floodplain of the River Yare. Its setting beside marshes and grazing fen gives it a strongly rural character, while the nearby A47 junction and a Park and Ride site link the village closely to the city.
Historically agricultural with links to river trade, Postwick now feels like a quiet commuter outpost and gateway to the Norfolk Broads, prized for riverside walks, birdlife and a small, close-knit community rather than high‑street commerce.
