Wortwell is a small riverside village and civil parish in South Norfolk, Norfolk, England, sitting on the banks of the River Waveney close to the county boundary with Suffolk and within easy reach of the market town of Harleston. The setting is characteristically rural, with river meadows, hedged lanes and rich wildlife that appeal to walkers, anglers and people looking for quiet access to the Waveney valley and Broads-style landscape.
Historically the settlement grew up around riverside activity and agriculture, and local folklore even offers colourful explanations for the village name linked to a well said to cure warts. Today it remains largely residential with farming and small local businesses, modest tourism from outdoor recreation, and many residents commuting to nearby market towns or to Diss and Norwich for work and services.
