About

Lancaster South ward occupies a central portion of the North Norfolk district, encompassing a mix of residential and rural landscapes. The area includes the southern and western neighbourhoods of the market town of Fakenham, which serves as a key local hub. Beyond the town boundaries, the ward extends into surrounding farmland and smaller settlements, creating a distinct transition from urban to agricultural land.

A notable feature is the presence of the River Wensum, which flows through the ward's western edge. This watercourse shapes the local environment, supporting wildlife and influencing the pattern of development. The area's character is defined by this blend of a functioning market town and the open, working countryside that immediately borders it.
