Norton in Wychavon is a small village and civil parish in the district of Wychavon, in rural Worcestershire, England. It sits within the fertile Vale of Evesham, an area famed for market gardening and orchards, so the surrounding landscape is dominated by fields of fruit and vegetables rather than heavy industry.
The settlement has medieval roots and retains a quietly historic character with a handful of older buildings and a parish feel; agriculture still shapes the local economy while many residents commute to nearby towns such as Evesham for work and services. Social life typically centres on the village hall and local pub, and the peaceful countryside makes it popular with walkers and those seeking a rural lifestyle close to market-town amenities.
