Norton Subcourse is a small rural parish in the district of South Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, lying close to the tidal reaches of the River Yare and on the edge of the reedbeds and wet meadows that characterise the Broads National Park. The landscape is a mix of arable fields, pasture and waterways, giving the area a tranquil riverside character and making it attractive to walkers, birdwatchers and those seeking quiet countryside.
Historically the settlement has medieval roots and retains a compact village feel with scattered farmsteads and a traditional parish community; the distinctive name "Subcourse" helps distinguish it from other Nortons and hints at historic patterns of landholding. Economically it remains largely agricultural, with a number of residents commuting to Norwich and nearby market towns, while the local history, riverside setting and wildlife continue to define its social and cultural life.
