Spixworth is a suburban village and civil parish in the district of Broadland, in rural Norfolk, sitting a few miles north of Norwich amid gently rolling farmland and the nearby valley of the River Wensum. It has a compact historic core of older cottages and a parish church alongside extensive 20th‑ and 21st‑century housing, making it both a commuter settlement for Norwich and a community with a distinctly semi‑rural feel.
The parish has a quiet but active social life, with local clubs, sports teams and village events, and its landscape was shaped by the former country estate of Spixworth Hall, the footprint of which still influences local parks and lanes. Economically it remains largely residential with pockets of local shops and light industry nearby, while its easy access to the city gives residents a mix of countryside tranquillity and urban convenience.
