Colney is a small village and civil parish in South Norfolk, within the county of Norfolk in England, sitting on the southern fringe of Norwich. It occupies low‑lying agricultural countryside and lanes, and has the feel of a quiet rural village that also functions as a commuter community for the nearby city.
Despite its modest size, Colney benefits from proximity to the University of East Anglia and the Norwich Research Park, which have brought research activity and related businesses into an area with long farming traditions; the result is a mix of agricultural character, local services and modern science‑focused employment on the edge of the city.
