Map of the UK

Ludham is a small village in the North Norfolk district of Norfolk, England, sitting on the northern edge of the Norfolk Broads. The village lies beside the River Ant and a maze of dykes and reedbeds - part of the shallow, largely man‑made broads created by medieval peat digging - so it’s prized for boating, birdlife and quiet waterside walks.

Locally the economy mixes agriculture with a steady stream of tourism: there are boatyards, holiday cottages and small businesses catering for anglers, sailors and wildlife lovers, while an active village community revolves around the church, village hall and pub. With easy access to Norwich and Great Yarmouth, Ludham feels rural but well connected, and has a long history reflected in its traditional buildings and landscape.
