Ormesby is a mainly rural ward on the outskirts of Great Yarmouth in Norfolk, England, centred on traditional villages such as Ormesby St Margaret and Ormesby St Michael. It sits close to the edge of the Norfolk Broads and the North Sea coast, so the landscape is a mix of broadland waterways, marshes, farmland and holiday parks.
The area retains medieval parish churches and a long agricultural history, while today the local economy blends farming, tourism and commuting to nearby towns. Boating, birdlife and wetland habitats are local highlights, and the ward faces the familiar challenges of balancing conservation, seasonal visitors and services for small, community-focused settlements.
