Bracon Ash is a small rural village and civil parish in South Norfolk, Norfolk, England, lying in gently undulating farmland a few miles south‑west of Norwich and close to towns such as Wymondham and Long Stratton. The landscape is typically Norfolk - hedged fields, pockets of woodland and small ponds - and offers quiet lanes and country walks rather than urban bustle.
The community has long agricultural roots but today combines traditional cottages and newer homes, with many residents commuting to nearby centres for work. Social life centres on parish activities, a church and village hall, while local wildlife in hedgerows and ponds and occasional historic features give the place a strong sense of local identity and rural continuity.
