Hempnall is a small rural village and civil parish in South Norfolk, Norfolk, England, set in gently rolling arable countryside a short drive south of Norwich. The village retains a historic feel with a medieval parish church, a handful of traditional cottages and farmhouses, and a compact centre that serves local residents with a pub, village hall and primary school.

Locally the economy remains largely agricultural but the community is lively, with clubs, seasonal events and an active parish council; miles of lanes, hedgerows and public footpaths make it popular with walkers and cyclists. Many residents commute into Norwich and nearby towns, while the village’s mix of listed buildings and rural setting gives it a quiet, quintessential Norfolk character.
