OS grid ref:TG 12 35
Dialling code: 01263 (Cromer)

Plumstead is a small rural parish in North Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk in eastern England. Set amid rolling arable fields and hedgerows, it lies within easy reach of the Norfolk coast and regional centres such as Norwich, with quiet lanes, farmsteads and country walks that attract birdwatchers and walkers alike.

Traditionally agricultural, the community still revolves around farming and a scattering of historic buildings, with several converted barns and a modest village hall that hosts local events; nowadays some residents commute to nearby towns while others work in rural tourism or conservation. Its long history and low-density settlement give Plumstead the understated, timeless character often associated with the Norfolk countryside.
