Map of the UK

Scole is a village and civil parish in South Norfolk, Norfolk, England, sitting close to the county boundary on the banks of the River Waveney. The settlement occupies gentle river valley and arable landscape, with a mixture of traditional cottages, Victorian houses and more recent developments, and benefits from road links that make market towns such as Diss and Eye and the city of Norwich readily accessible.

Locally the community is centred on village facilities, small businesses and agriculture, while many residents commute to nearby towns. The village’s history reflects its riverside location and later road connections, and that past is visible in older buildings and the layout of the settlement; regular local events and clubs contribute to a strong village social life.
