Worstead is a small village and civil parish in the district of North Norfolk in the county of Norfolk, England. It sits in gently rolling arable country close to the waterways and wetland landscape of the Norfolk Broads, a short drive from the market town of North Walsham.
The village is best known for lending its name to worsted cloth after medieval weavers settled there and established a local textile trade; that heritage still colours community identity alongside farming and small rural businesses. A compact village centre with a historic church, village hall and occasional local events reflects a social life rooted in agricultural rhythms and proud local traditions rather than tourism.
