Long Stratton sits in the district of South Norfolk in rural Norfolk, England, roughly midway along the busy A140 between Norwich and Diss. The settlement is notable for its long, linear High Street and the surrounding arable countryside, giving it a distinctly semi-rural feel despite easy road links to larger towns.
Historically a market and coaching place on an old north–south route, the parish still shows medieval and later buildings alongside modern housing, shops, schools and small industrial units, and functions as a local service centre and commuter base for Norwich. Local life is shaped by active community groups and long-running debates about traffic and a much‑discussed bypass to reduce through-traffic on the High Street.
