About

Ashill ward covers a primarily rural expanse within Breckland, characterised by agricultural land, scattered woodland, and the small village of Ashill itself. The area is defined by its gently rolling landscape, with fields and farms forming the dominant pattern of land use. The ward includes the hamlet of Little Dunham and is traversed by several minor roads connecting these settlements.

A notable feature is the presence of the disused Mid-Norfolk Railway line, which cuts through the parish. The local environment includes areas of heathland, a habitat typical of the wider Breckland region. Community life centres on the village hall and the parish church of St. Nicholas, which dates to the 14th century.
