Hickling is a small village and civil parish on the eastern fringe of North Norfolk in Norfolk, England. It nestles beside Hickling Broad, the largest of the waterways in the Norfolk Broads, and the surrounding reedbeds, marshes and dykes make the area especially rich for birdlife and wetland plants.
The village retains a quiet rural character: local life is shaped by agriculture, conservation and modest tourism, with boat hire, fishing and wildlife-watching attracting seasonal visitors. There’s a recognisable sense of community and history here, set against an important landscape that is managed for both nature and recreation.
