Briston is a village and civil parish in the district of North Norfolk in the county of Norfolk, England. Set a few miles inland from the North Norfolk coast and within easy reach of market towns such as Holt and Sheringham, it sits amid rolling arable farmland and hedged lanes typical of the region.
The community has medieval roots and retains a traditional parish church, a village hall and a pub, with farms and small local businesses forming the backbone of the local economy while some residents commute to nearby towns.
