Poringland is a sizeable village in South Norfolk, Norfolk, England, lying roughly five miles (about eight kilometres) south of Norwich. It sits on the edge of a pleasant rural landscape, with pockets of ancient woodland and the local green space of Poringland Common, making it attractive to people who want village life within easy reach of the city.
The village has historic agricultural roots but today is a mix of local shops, small businesses and commuters who work in Norwich or the wider region; it also acts as a gateway for countryside recreation and is within easy reach of The Broads. Despite modern development, Poringland retains an active community feel with clubs, a primary school and traditional pubs that help keep a strong local identity.
