Briston is a small village and civil parish in North Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, England. Set inland but within easy reach of the north Norfolk coast and nearby market towns, it sits among rolling arable farmland, hedgerows and small woods and combines historic cottages with more modern housing.
The village retains a parish church, a village pub and active community groups that reflect its agricultural roots while increasingly serving as a commuter base for nearby towns. Local walking routes, occasional community events and a quietly historic character shaped by rural trade and 19th‑century development give Briston a strong sense of place without feeling touristy.
