About

Stoke Ferry sits on the River Wissey with its historic windmill, a landmark visible across the surrounding farmland. The village centre is compact, focused around a main road with local shops and services. The landscape is defined by wide, open fenland fields, creating a distinctively flat horizon. Agricultural activity shapes the daily rhythm here, with large farms operating across the drained peat soils.

To the south, Hilgay is similarly positioned on the banks of the River Wissey, its parish church tower a focal point in the low-lying terrain. Wimbotsham lies slightly to the north, connected by straight roads that cut through the expansive fields. The area is characterised by its network of drainage ditches and riverbanks, essential for managing the water levels in this part of the Norfolk Fens. Quiet lanes link the settlements through a working agricultural landscape.
