About

Hoveton & Tunstead is a predominantly rural ward situated inland within North Norfolk. The area encompasses several villages, including the larger settlements of Hoveton and Tunstead itself, alongside smaller communities like Sloley and Scottow. The landscape is characterised by agricultural land, scattered woodlands, and the meandering course of the River Bure, which forms a significant part of its western boundary. This is a working agricultural area with a mix of arable and livestock farming.

A notable network of navigable rivers and broads, including Hoveton Great Broad and Decoy Broad, lies within the parish. These waterways are integral to the local environment and economy, supporting boating, fishing, and wildlife habitats. The ward contains areas of the Bure Marshes National Nature Reserve, which protect important wetlands. The historic Bure Valley Railway, a narrow-gauge heritage line, connects Hoveton to the market town of Aylsham.
