Ashby St. Mary is a small rural village and civil parish in South Norfolk, Norfolk, England, lying a few miles south‑east of Norwich. It retains a distinctly Norfolk feel, with scattered cottages, farmland and a very small population, so life here tends to centre on the parish church and occasional village gatherings rather than high streets or industry.
The village’s character is shaped by its agricultural setting and proximity to the River Yare and the wider waterways of The Broads, which bring local opportunities for wildlife watching and riverside walks. Historically rooted with a medieval church and traditional buildings, Ashby St. Mary offers a quiet, community‑focused base that many residents combine with commuting into Norwich or leisure around the Broads.
