Waterloo is a small rural settlement in the district of Broadland in Norfolk, England. Set amid the low-lying fenland and reedbeds close to the Norfolk Broads and within easy reach of Norwich, it has the quiet, pastoral character typical of the area, with farming, wildlife and seasonal boating and tourism shaping the landscape.
Like many tiny Norfolk hamlets, Waterloo is made up of cottages and farmsteads and has a history tied more to drainage, agriculture and river trade than to industry; the name itself is likely a 19th-century nod to the Battle of Waterloo. Today the community tends to be small and locally focused, with conservation, leisure and commuting into larger centres increasingly important to the local economy and social life.
