Map of the UK

Shotesham is a small, loosely clustered village in the district of South Norfolk, in rural Norfolk, England, set in gently rolling arable countryside a short drive south of Norwich. The settlement is characterful rather than urban, with a number of historic buildings and traditional timber‑framed and thatched cottages surrounded by parkland and farmland, and a landscape crossed by public footpaths popular with walkers.

Locally there is a sense of a long history - parish churches, manor houses and listed buildings hint at medieval and estate pasts - while economically the area remains largely agricultural with a proportion of residents commuting to nearby towns. Community life is quiet and village‑centred, with conservation and heritage features attracting interest from visitors and local historians.
