The village and civil parish of Filby lies in the district of Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, a few miles inland from the east coast and set close to the wetland landscape of the Norfolk Broads. The settlement sits beside small broads and reedbeds, notably Filby Broad, which give the area a strong identity for boating, birdwatching and waterside walking while the surrounding farmland retains a distinctly rural character.
Historically rooted in the medieval period, Filby retains a compact, village feel with a medieval parish church and some historic houses clustered around a traditional green. The local economy has long been agricultural but today includes commuters working in Great Yarmouth and Norfolk's larger towns, plus a modest amount of tourism linked to the Broads; socially it is known for a close-knit community with village activities and an interest in conserving the local landscape and wildlife.
