About

Heacham ward encompasses a coastal settlement on Norfolk's eastern shore, dominated by its long, gently sloping shingle beach. The area is primarily residential, with a mix of traditional brick and flint houses and modern developments. Inland, the landscape transitions to agricultural land, with fields dedicated to bulb growing and arable farming.

A notable feature is the lavender fields that bloom in summer, adding distinct colour and fragrance to the local scenery. The local economy is supported by seasonal tourism, a small fishing fleet, and shops catering to both residents and visitors. The ward includes the village centre with its historic church and a network of quieter lanes leading toward the rural hinterland.
