High Kelling is a small, mainly residential village just north of Holt in the district of North Norfolk, Norfolk, England. Perched on the edge of open heathland, it sits close to Kelling Heath and within easy reach of the North Norfolk Coast, with the A148 and nearby Sheringham providing links to the coast. The village grew up largely in the late Victorian and Edwardian period, so many houses retain period features and a village atmosphere that balances rural landscape with good access to nearby market towns.

Economically and socially High Kelling is quieter and more residential than some coastal settlements, with local life often orientated towards Holt for shops, events and the heritage North Norfolk Railway, and outdoor pursuits on the heath and in places such as Holt Country Park. It’s popular with walkers, birdwatchers and people seeking a peaceful base for exploring the broader North Norfolk coast and countryside, and benefits from a mix of long-term residents and newcomers drawn by the scenery and village community.
