Shelton and Hardwick is a small, largely rural civil parish in South Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, England. It sits amid the low-lying arable landscape typical of the county, with winding country lanes, hedgerows and farmed fields giving it a quiet, pastoral character rather than any urban centre.

The area has historic roots visible in an old church and a number of traditional farmhouses and listed buildings, reflecting centuries of agricultural life. Today the local economy remains largely agricultural with a small, close-knit community that often relies on nearby market towns and the city of Norwich for services, while offering pleasant walking, wildlife-watching and a sense of Norfolk village heritage.
