Knapton is a small rural parish in the district of North Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, England. Set a few miles inland from the Norfolk coast, it sits within a landscape of arable fields, hedgerows and pockets of woodland and benefits from easy access to nearby market towns such as North Walsham and coastal centres like Cromer.
Despite its modest size the village has a long history and retains a traditional rural character, with older buildings and a tight‑knit community that still centres on local events and the village hall. Agriculture remains important to the local economy, while the parish’s proximity to the coast and to walking routes makes it attractive for visitors and residents looking for a quieter base close to Norfolk’s seaside and countryside.
