About

Nar Valley ward encompasses a primarily rural portion of western Breckland, centred on the villages of Narborough and Pentney. The landscape is characterised by wide, flat agricultural fields and the meandering course of the River Nar, a chalk stream, from which the area takes its name. The ward's settlements are compact, with a focus on local community life.

The geography is significantly shaped by the presence of the Nar Valley Way, a long-distance footpath following the river. A notable historical feature is the substantial ruins of Pentney Priory, an Augustinian foundation dating to the 12th century. Economic activity is largely linked to agriculture, with some light industry located near the A47 road which forms part of the ward's southern boundary.
