A notable landmark is the historic Little Plumstead Hall, a former hospital site with extensive grounds. The ward's geography includes areas of woodland and heath, contributing to its quiet, greenbelt feel. Transport links are primarily via country lanes, with the broader road network connecting it to Norwich and the broader Broads.
