Map of the UK

Hales is a small, rural village and civil parish in South Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk in England. Sitting on the edge of the landscape famously associated with the Norfolk Broads, it lies close to the market town of Loddon and is within easy reach of the city of Norwich, giving a quiet riverside and agricultural setting with easy access to bigger centres.

Locally the parish is noted for its historic manor, Hales Hall, and a cluster of older buildings that speak to its medieval and agricultural past. Today the community mixes farming and small local enterprises with a modest amount of Broads-related tourism, while village life centres on traditional social activities and conservation of the surrounding countryside.
