About

Worstead ward encompasses a rural expanse of North Norfolk, characterised by its patchwork of arable fields and scattered settlements. The area is defined by several small villages, including the namesake Worstead, along with Sloley, Westwick, and parts of Scottow. The landscape is largely agricultural, with a network of quiet, narrow lanes connecting working farms and residential properties. The River Ant forms a gentle, winding boundary along the ward's western edge.

The parish church in Worstead village, with its distinctive tall tower, is a prominent landmark built from the wealth of the medieval wool trade. This historical industry gave its name to the lightweight fabric known as worsted cloth. The area's community life often centres around local institutions like village halls and the remaining public houses. The former RAF Coltishall site, now a mixed-use development called Scottow Enterprise Park, occupies a significant portion of the eastern section of the ward.
