Somerton is a small coastal civil parish in the borough of Great Yarmouth, in Norfolk, England, set on the low-lying landscape where farmland meets salt marsh and reedbeds close to the North Sea. The mix of open marsh, drainage channels and nearby waterways gives it quiet, wildlife-rich surroundings and easy access to the wetland habitats of The Broads and the east Norfolk coast.
Historically the local economy was rooted in agriculture, fishing and salt‑marsh grazing, while today it combines a small, close-knit community with commuters, holiday lets and visitors drawn by birdwatching and coastal walks; a village church, hall and occasional community events help maintain social life against the backdrop of seaside tourism from Great Yarmouth.
