Roughton is a small rural parish in North Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, lying a few miles inland from the north Norfolk coast and the seaside town of Cromer. The landscape is typically Norfolk - gently undulating farmland, hedgerows and pockets of mixed woodland - and its proximity to the coast and the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty makes it a quiet base for walkers and birdwatchers as well as for people who commute to nearby towns.
The village has medieval roots and retains a number of historic buildings and a parish church that reflect that past, while modern life revolves around farming, small local enterprises and a modest tourism trade. Community life is centred on the village hall, local events and the pub, giving Roughton a character that mixes traditional rural Norfolk with the influence of visitors and commuters drawn by its coastal location and peaceful setting.
