Filby is a small rural village just inland from Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, England, sitting on the edge of the low-lying reedbeds and waterways that characterise the Broads. The village is notable for its proximity to Filby Broad and the other shallow Trinity broads, so the surrounding landscape is popular with birdwatchers, canoeists and anyone enjoying quiet boat trip scenery rather than busy seaside tourism.
Historically an agricultural settlement, Filby now combines traditional cottages and farmed land with a small, close-knit community that benefits from visitors exploring the waterways and wildlife. It’s a peaceful spot appreciated by walkers and nature-lovers, with the mix of historic buildings and broadland ecology giving it a distinctly Norfolk character.
