Starston is a small village and civil parish in South Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, lying close to the border with Suffolk and only a few miles from the market town of Harleston. It occupies a quietly rural spot in the River Waveney valley, surrounded by arable fields and riverside meadows that give the area a decidedly tranquil, agricultural character.
Historically rooted in farming, the settlement retains period cottages and farmhouses and a traditional village feel; local life is centred on the parish church and village hall, with occasional fetes and community events that keep a close-knit social scene. While agriculture remains visible on the landscape, many residents now commute to nearby towns for work, making it a mix of long-standing rural traditions and modern village living.
