Brooke is a small village and civil parish in the district of South Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, England, lying a short distance to the south of the city of Norwich. It has the compact, rural character typical of many Norfolk villages and serves both as a farming community and as a dormitory for people working in the nearby city.
The village sits amid gently rolling arable countryside and contains a number of older buildings and a parish church that hint at its historic roots. Local life tends to revolve around community amenities such as the village hall and occasional social events, while quiet lanes and country paths make it attractive to walkers and those after a tranquil rural setting not far from urban facilities.
