The parish of Wroxham (parish) sits in the district of Broadland in Norfolk, England, straddling the banks of the River Bure opposite Hoveton. Nestled in the heart of the Norfolk Broads, it’s long been known as a focal point for boating and wildlife trips, with the iconic Wroxham Bridge and a cluster of boatyards and hire centres that make it a popular gateway for exploring the waterways.
With medieval origins as a riverside trading and agricultural settlement, Wroxham has shifted over time into an economy dominated by tourism, leisure boating and local retail - anchored by well‑known businesses such as Roys of Wroxham. The parish combines a small, year‑round community with a heavy seasonal influx of visitors, and its surrounding wetland habitats are integral to the protected Broads landscape, giving the area both ecological and cultural significance.
