Knapton is a small village and civil parish in North Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, England, lying a few miles east of North Walsham and within easy reach of the North Norfolk coast and the Norfolk Broads. It sits in typical low-lying East Anglian countryside, with ribboned lanes, arable fields and pockets of heathland and marsh that give the area a quietly coastal, rural character.
Historically medieval in origin, the village is centred on its parish church and a handful of flint and brick cottages, and the local economy remains largely agricultural with many residents commuting to larger centres such as Norwich. Community life is small-scale and neighbourly, attracting walkers and those seeking a peaceful base close to both the coast and the Broads, while a few listed buildings and traditional features hint at its long history.
