Wroxham sits in the district of Broadland in Norfolk, resting on the banks of the River Bure at the heart of the Norfolk Broads. Immediately opposite the village of Hoveton, it’s a low-lying, reed-fringed landscape of broads and marshes that attracts birdlife and boating enthusiasts; Wroxham Broad and the bridge across the Bure are local landmarks that emphasise its riverside character.
Locally the economy and social life are shaped by tourism and boating, with boat hire, riverside pubs and independent shops - most famously Roys of Wroxham - alongside small-scale agriculture. A railway station on the Bittern Line links the area to Norwich, and the community mixes long-standing residents with a strong seasonal influx of visitors and second-home owners, giving it a village feel that’s nonetheless tuned to the Broads’ leisure industry and conservation interests.
