Wortwell is a small village and civil parish in South Norfolk, in the county of Norfolk, England. It sits beside the River Waveney on the Norfolk–Suffolk border, a short drive from the market town of Harleston, and forms part of the attractive Waveney Valley countryside.
The settlement has a distinctly rural, agricultural character and a tight‑knit community; local folklore even claims the village name comes from a “wort” well connected with brewing. The river and surrounding meadows make it popular for walkers, birdwatchers and canoeists, while most everyday services are linked to nearby towns, giving Wortwell a quiet, village feel with easy access to larger centres.
