About

The Whissonsett, Litcham & Narborough area lies within the Breckland region, characterised by open agricultural land and scattered woodland. The landscape is gently undulating, with fields defined by hedgerows and quiet lanes connecting the small villages. The River Nar flows through the southern part of this area, influencing the local topography and ecology.

The settlements are modest and linear in form, often centred around historic church buildings. A notable local feature is the presence of the Mid-Norfolk Railway, whose heritage line runs near the villages, with a station at Narborough. This adds a distinct historical transport element to the rural setting.
