Hempton is a small, rural village in North Norfolk, Norfolk, England, set among the arable fields and hedgerows that characterise the county. It lies within easy reach of the market town of Fakenham and the attractive stretches of the North Norfolk coast, so the landscape mixes working farmland with routes used by walkers and visitors exploring the wider area.
The settlement has long agricultural roots and a compact, village-centred social life, with historic buildings and a modest village hall or green where seasonal events and community activities gather people together.
