Map of the UK

Surlingham sits in South Norfolk, Norfolk, England on the east bank of the River Yare, where the village edges into the wetlands of the Norfolk Broads. The landscape is dominated by reedbeds, marshes and small broads, with quiet winding creeks and moorings shaping a strong riverside character and making the area popular for boating and birdwatching.

Locally there is a small, close‑knit community centred on a historic parish church and village amenities, with an economy balanced between agriculture, boat‑related businesses and tourism. Conservation and wildlife interest are important here, and the village retains visible historic links to river trade and boatbuilding while hosting a modest programme of community events and nature‑focused activities.
