Broome is a small rural village and civil parish in the district of South Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, England. Set close to the county boundary with Suffolk and near the gentle valley of the River Waveney, it sits amid low-lying arable fields, hedgerow-lined lanes and small copses that make it attractive for walkers and birdwatchers.
The settlement's long history is reflected in older buildings and a parish church, and it retains a quiet agricultural character while also serving as a commuter base for larger towns and Norwich. Local life revolves around village amenities, occasional community events and small rural enterprises, with countryside tourism and outdoor pursuits contributing to the local economy.
