North Walsham is a market town and civil parish in North Norfolk, Norfolk, England, lying a few miles inland from the North Norfolk coast and close to the edge of the Norfolk Broads. The town is linked to the surrounding waterways by the historic North Walsham & Dilham Canal, and has a railway station with services into Norwich, which makes it a local centre for shopping and commuting.
Historically a medieval market centre, the town still retains a market place and a notable parish church, and its economy mixes agriculture, small manufacturing, shops and local services. There is an active community life with clubs, sports teams and events, and ongoing interest in conserving the canal and local heritage that gives the town its distinctive character.
