Ashwellthorpe is a small village and civil parish in South Norfolk, Norfolk, England, lying a few miles south‑west of Norwich and close to Wymondham. The parish is often linked with neighbouring Fundenhall and sits in typically gentle Norfolk countryside – mostly arable farmland, lanes and pockets of woodland – with many residents commuting into the nearby towns.
Despite its modest size, Ashwellthorpe has some notable local features: remnants of a wartime airfield in the area, traditional village buildings and a community life centred on the church, village hall and pub. The surrounding commons and hedgerows make it of interest to walkers and naturalists, while the village retains a quiet, agricultural character with a mix of long‑standing families and newer commuters.
