Map of the UK

Reepham is a small market town and civil parish in the Broadland district of Norfolk, set in gently undulating countryside roughly twelve miles north‑west of Norwich and just a few miles from Aylsham. It sits near the valley of the River Wensum, and the surrounding landscape is a mix of arable farmland and pocket woodlands that make it popular with walkers and cyclists.

The town has medieval roots and a compact historic centre of timber‑framed and Georgian buildings, independent shops, cafes and a couple of traditional pubs, giving it a strong community feel. It has an interesting railway heritage - former lines and viaducts nearby have been repurposed as recreational routes such as the Marriott's Way, and it sits close to the tourist attraction of the Bure Valley Railway - while the local economy remains a mix of agriculture, small businesses and visitor‑focused services. Social life is bolstered by local events, markets and an active parish community.
