About

Shipdham-with-Scarning is a ward in the Breckland district, encompassing the two adjoining parishes from which it takes its name. The area is characterised by a mix of residential development and agricultural land, situated just to the west of Dereham. The local economy has historical ties to agriculture, with light industry and commerce also present. The landscape is largely flat, typical of this part of Norfolk, with fields and hedgerows defining the rural outskirts.

The ward functions as a community for its residents, with local services centred in the villages. A notable local feature is the presence of one of Norfolk's few remaining traditional windmills, a landmark with a distinctive white cap. Road connections provide links to the wider district, while the surrounding farmland contributes to the area's quiet, settled character. Residential areas range from older housing to more recent developments.
