The parish of Alpington and Yelverton sits in rural South Norfolk, Norfolk, England, just a few miles south‑east of Norwich. The twin villages occupy gently rolling arable countryside typical of south Norfolk, with hedgerows, drainage ditches and pockets of traditional flint and thatch; both settlements have medieval origins and a number of listed buildings that hint at a long agricultural past.
Today they combine a quiet farming economy with a commuter connection to Norwich, yet retain strong village life - a village hall, local pub and occasional fetes and clubs help keep the community active. Their setting close to open countryside and the waterways of the wider NorfolkNorfolk Broads, also makes them popular with walkers and people seeking a rural base near the city.
