Map of the UK

Scottow is a small, rural civil parish in the district of North Norfolk in the county of Norfolk, England, set a short drive north‑east of Norwich. The character is typically Norfolk: low‑lying arable countryside, hedgerows and scattered hamlets, with a compact local community that revolves around village events and modest local services.

One of the parish’s most notable features is the former airbase at RAF Coltishall, largely repurposed as Scottow Enterprise Park, which now hosts small businesses, training providers and leisure uses and has given the local economy a useful boost while preserving elements of its wartime aviation heritage. Its setting close to the watery landscapes of the Norfolk Broads also makes the area attractive for walkers and people interested in rural and industrial history.
