Martham is a small village and civil parish in the district of Great Yarmouth, in rural Norfolk, England. Sitting on the edge of the Norfolk Broads, it is characterised by low-lying marshes, reedbeds and the shallow waters of Martham Broad, which make it a popular spot for birdwatching, boating and angling. The village retains a historic core with an old parish church and lanes that reflect its long agricultural and drainage history.
Economically the area still leans on farming and small local businesses, with a fair amount of commuting to nearby towns for work, while tourism linked to the Broads brings seasonal visitors. Socially Martham has an active village life with clubs, a village hall and pubs that help sustain a close-knit community feel, blending traditional rural character with the recreational draw of the waterways.
