Alpington is a small village and civil parish in South Norfolk, Norfolk, England, lying a few miles south of Norwich and close to Long Stratton. Set in gently rolling agricultural countryside, it is often paired administratively with neighbouring Yelverton and benefits from road links including the nearby A140 towards Norwich and Ipswich.
The village has historic roots stretching back centuries, with a parish church and several listed buildings that reflect its rural past, while today the local economy remains largely agricultural with many residents commuting to nearby towns. Community life is quiet but active, centred on a village hall, occasional local events and the familiar social fabric of a traditional Norfolk village.
