Woodbastwick is a small village in the Broadland district of Norfolk, England, set beside the winding channels of the River Bure within the wetland landscape of the Norfolk Broads. The setting is dominated by reedbeds, grazing marsh and open water, making it popular with boaters, walkers and wildlife enthusiasts and giving the settlement a distinctly riverside, rural character.
Its history stretches back through the medieval period and the village retains traditional features such as an older parish church and farmed estates; today the local economy mixes agriculture with small‑scale tourism and watersports, while a tight‑knit community is maintained through village events, a hall and local clubs. The proximity to Norwich and the wider Broads network means it combines quiet country life with easy access to regional services and leisure opportunities.
