Catfield is a small village and civil parish in North Norfolk, Norfolk, England, set on the edge of the Norfolk Broads and within easy reach of Norwich. The area is dominated by low-lying fenland: Catfield Fen is a nationally important wetland with rare fen meadow habitats, rich bird and insect life and a landscape shaped by historic peat cutting, drainage and traditional grazing.
Locally the economy is largely rural, based on farming and small businesses, with a modest boost from visitors drawn to the Broads and the nature reserve. Socially it feels like a typical close-knit Norfolk village, centred on its parish facilities and community events, balancing a strong sense of local heritage with modern conservation and leisure interests.
