Heckingham is a small village and civil parish in South Norfolk, Norfolk, England, set into the gentle arable landscape of south Norfolk and within easy reach of the Broads and the city of Norwich. The settlement is compact, with quiet lanes, hedgerows and a scattering of historic cottages and farmsteads that reflect its rural setting.
Historically rooted in the medieval period, the village retains a small parish church and a handful of listed buildings, while its local economy remains largely agricultural with a number of residents commuting to nearby towns. Socially it feels like a close-knit community with occasional village events and a strong sense of place typical of Norfolk's countryside.
