Great Melton is a small rural parish in the district of South Norfolk in Norfolk, England, lying a few miles south‑west of Norwich and close to the neighbouring village of Little Melton. It occupies typical Norfolk countryside of rolling arable fields, hedgerows and small woodlands, making it popular with walkers and birdwatchers.
The community is largely residential with farming still important to the local economy, while many people commute into nearby towns. A handful of historic buildings, including an old parish church and listed farmhouses, give the village a strong sense of history, and local events and the parish council help sustain a close‑knit social life.
