East Ruston is a small rural village and civil parish in North Norfolk, Norfolk, England, lying a few miles inland from the North Norfolk coast and close to the market towns of North Walsham and Stalham. The surrounding landscape is classic Norfolk - rolling arable fields, hedgerows and pockets of wetland that give way towards the Norfolk Broads and coastal marshes, making it popular with walkers and birdwatchers.
The village combines a quiet agricultural economy with a steady flow of visitors drawn by the well‑known East Ruston Old Vicarage Gardens, a colourful and varied garden created in the 20th century. Historic features such as the medieval parish church of St Mary's, traditional flint and brick cottages, and an active community life centred on the village hall and local events give it a strong sense of place and a friendly, small‑scale character.
