Gimingham is a small village and civil parish in North Norfolk, Norfolk, England, set in rolling arable countryside a few miles inland from the north‑east coast and within easy reach of towns such as North Walsham and Mundesley. The settlement shows its long rural history in flint‑and‑brick cottages and a medieval parish church, while the surrounding landscape is largely agricultural with hedged fields and scattered woodlands.

Locally the economy is dominated by farming alongside a mix of commuters and retirees, and social life tends to revolve around village events, the church and nearby pubs. Visitors are drawn by quiet lanes, coastal access and a traditional Norfolk village character; historic traces of manorial and rural life survive in field patterns and older buildings rather than in large tourist development.
