Howe is a small, quiet civil parish in South Norfolk, Norfolk, England, set in gently rolling arable countryside of hedgerows, lanes and drainage ditches typical of the county. The settlement pattern is dispersed, with farms and a few clusters of houses rather than a single bustling village, and it sits within easy reach of larger market towns and Norwich for services and commuting.
Historically the name reflects ancient roots - from Old Norse/Old English for a hill or barrow - and the area retains a rural character with traditional farmsteads, mature hedgerows and local wildlife. The local economy is largely agricultural, supplemented by commuters and small enterprises, and social life tends to centre on nearby village halls and parish events rather than large local amenities.
