Swafield is a small rural village and civil parish in North Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, England. Set amid rolling arable fields a few miles from the market town of North Walsham and within easy reach of the North Norfolk coast and the Norfolk Broads, it retains a quiet agricultural character and a sparsely populated, low‑density pattern of settlement.
Historically the village centre includes a parish church with medieval features and a number of traditional flint and brick buildings; the local economy remains largely farming-based with a number of residents commuting to Norwich and neighbouring towns. Community life is small-scale and relaxed, centred on the church, village gatherings and the surrounding landscape that typifies East Anglian rural life.
