Cringleford is a village and civil parish in South Norfolk, Norfolk, England, lying just to the south‑west of Norwich on the banks of the River Yare. The settlement retains a small historic core with a village church and reminders of its agricultural and mill past, while riverside meadows and footpaths give a pleasant semi‑rural feel close to the city.
In recent decades the parish has seen modern housing and amenities arrive, helped by its proximity to the University of East Anglia and the Norwich Research Park, which has brought more commuters and professionals into the local community. There remains a strong village identity, with a primary school, village hall and sports clubs, and easy access to riverside walks such as sections of the Yare Valley Walk.
