Geldeston is a small village and civil parish in South Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, England. It sits on the south bank of the River Waveney close to the county boundary with Suffolk and within easy reach of The Broads; the lock and weir at Geldeston are a locally distinctive riverside feature popular with walkers, anglers and boaters.
Historically a rural settlement with long-standing agricultural ties, Geldeston retains a compact village community centred on its parish amenities and riverside footpaths. The local economy still leans on farming and quiet tourism, with many residents commuting to nearby market towns such as Beccles and Bungay, and community life is typically low-key with seasonal events and village gatherings.
