About

Melton Constable is a historic railway village, its layout and character largely defined by its past as a major junction for the Midland and Great Northern Joint Railway. The station master's house and other railway buildings remain prominent features. The village sits inland, with the River Bure flowing nearby, and is surrounded by agricultural land and pockets of woodland, giving it a settled, functional feel distinct from the coastal settlements.

The nearby villages of Briston and Little Snoring are smaller, centred around their churches and greens, with traditional flint and brick houses. The area is predominantly flat, open farmland, crossed by quiet lanes and public footpaths. Little Snoring's former World War II airfield, now largely returned to agriculture, is a significant but low-key presence in the landscape, its long, straight perimeter tracks still traceable.
