The village of Rockland St. Mary sits on the southern edge of The Broads in South Norfolk, Norfolk, England, beside the winding River Yare. Reedbeds, grazing marsh and a nearby Rockland Broad give the area strong waterside character, popular with boaters and birdwatchers, while the village remains a short drive from Norwich and other local services.
Historically the settlement is centred on its medieval church dedicated to St Mary and a scattering of older farmhouses; today the local economy mixes agriculture, tourism and commuting to the city. Community life is quiet and landscape-focused, with conservation, wildlife and outdoor pastimes playing a big part in the village’s appeal.
