About

Acle ward lies within the Broadland district of Norfolk, centred on the market town of Acle itself. The area is characterised by its position within the Norfolk Broads river network, with the River Bure flowing nearby. The landscape is largely flat and open, consisting of agricultural land and grazing marshes typical of the region. The ward includes several smaller villages and hamlets in its rural surroundings.

The town serves as a local commercial and service hub for the surrounding agricultural communities. Historically, its development was closely tied to the river and the marshes, with drainage mills once a common feature. The area is crossed by the A47 trunk road, which is a significant transport route. A unique and specific local landmark is the Acle Dyke, a medieval watercourse that helped shape the settlement's layout and history.
