Upton is a small village and civil parish in the district of Broadland in the county of Norfolk, England. It sits in the flat, agricultural landscape typical of the area and is close enough to the waterways and wetland habitats of the Norfolk Broads to feel the influence of that unique environment, while remaining within easy reach of Norwich for shops and rail links.
Historically an agricultural settlement, Upton retains a quiet, village character with farmsteads and traditional buildings, and a community shaped by local events and services rather than industry. Its proximity to the Broads brings recreational opportunities such as boating and birdwatching, and many residents balance rural life with commuting to nearby towns.
