Map of the UK

Heywood is a small, predominantly rural parish in the district of South Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, England. It sits among gently rolling arable fields, hedgerows and quiet lanes, with a compact village core and a scattering of farmsteads and cottages that give it a quietly picturesque character.

Historically rooted in agriculture, the area retains several older buildings and a medieval parish church, and community life is centred on local events and village amenities. While farming and small local enterprises remain important, many residents commute to Norwich or nearby market towns, blending traditional rural life with modern connections.
