Spixworth is a sizeable village and civil parish in the Broadland district of Norfolk, England, lying a few miles north of Norwich. It sits on the edge of the city’s northern suburbs, surrounded by gently rolling farmland and pockets of woodland, and is part of a district that includes stretches of The Broads country, giving it a semi‑rural feel despite good transport links to the city.
Historically the village was linked to the Spixworth Hall estate and has grown with post‑war housing, so today it combines commuter living with a rooted local community: a primary school, sports clubs, village hall, small shops and some light businesses. The mix of historic estate associations, open countryside and easy access to Norwich makes it popular with families and those seeking a quieter base close to city amenities.
