Sprowston Central sits just north-east of Norwich in the district of Broadland, Norfolk, England. The area is largely suburban and flat, with parks and green corridors that run down towards the River Wensum, and it includes notable local landmarks such as Sprowston Hall and its adjoining golf and leisure facilities.
Historically a village that grew into a commuter suburb, the ward combines family housing, schools and local shops with active community groups, village halls and churches. Its close links to Norwich mean a lot of residents travel into the city for work, while the patchwork of open spaces and historic buildings gives it a quieter, village-like feel within easy reach of urban amenities.
