Taverham North is a residential ward in the district of Broadland, on the north‑western fringe of Norwich in Norfolk, England. It mixes suburban streets with pockets of countryside, and the nearby River Wensum and surrounding farmland give a distinctly green feel that contrasts with its role as a commuter area for the city.
Drawing on Taverham's village roots - historically linked to mills and agriculture - the ward today comprises family homes, local shops, schools and active community groups. The local economy is largely service‑ and commuter‑based, while conservation of river corridors, recreation grounds and village amenities remains important to residents.
