Terrington

About

Terrington ward encompasses a large rural area on the western edge of the Norfolk Fens, characterised by expansive agricultural land. The landscape is dominated by large, open fields used for arable farming, with drainage channels and droves defining the flat terrain. The settlement pattern consists of scattered villages, including Terrington St. Clement and Terrington St. John, which serve as local hubs with essential services and community facilities.

The ward's economy is closely tied to agriculture and food processing, with several major facilities located here. A notable local feature is the historic Marshland Smeeth, an area of remaining unenclosed common land that provides a contrast to the surrounding cultivated fields. The area maintains a distinct, quiet character shaped by its fenland geography and farming heritage.
