Hickling is a small village and civil parish in North Norfolk, Norfolk, sitting on the northern edge of the Norfolk Broads. It lies beside Hickling Broad, the largest of the natural broads, a patchwork of open water, reedbeds and marsh that forms a nationally important wildlife area within the Broads National Park.
The local economy mixes agriculture and traditional reed‑cutting with tourism focused on boating, birdwatching and walking; the broad draws bitterns, marsh harriers and a host of wetland species. The village keeps a distinctly rural, historic character with an old parish church, traditional cottages and a small community active in conservation and seasonal life shaped by centuries of living with the marshes.
