The ward covering the villages of Ditchingham and Earsham sits in South Norfolk, eastern Norfolk close to the Suffolk border. It straddles the River Waveney and lies just west of Bungay, with low-lying floodplain, small woodlands and waterways that edge the Broads National Park, making it popular with walkers, anglers and birdwatchers.
Both villages retain historic cores with medieval churches and a mix of listed houses, and the parkland of the estate at Ditchingham is a local landmark. The economy is largely agricultural with a scattering of small businesses, while many residents commute to Norwich or nearby towns; community life revolves around village halls, pubs and clubs and a steady stream of visitors drawn to the quiet riverside character.
