Narborough is a parish of around 525 dwellings, mostly bungalows. It lies between King’s Lynn and Swaffham just off the A47, and so is well positioned for road and rail connections into London. The historic city of Norwich is just 30 miles away and the picturesque Broads area is only a couple of hours drive.
Narborough boasts the beautiful Parish Church of All Saints, which has a lovely pond behind it, providing a quiet, reflective area. The Ship Inn guards one end of the village while the impressive Community Centre guards the other. The Community Centre is host to many activities including martial arts, youth club, bingo, billiards and line dancing. We are only a short distance from RAF Marham with its Tornados but, surprisingly, we hear very little noise from the aircraft. The village has a very good relationship with RAF Marham and we support each other.
We have a village shop and a very nice Cantonese Restaurant in the Ship Inn. The village also is lucky enough to have the Trout Lakes and Nature Walk along the old railway line to the east of the village, both of which are very popular with the local fishermen, villagers and visitors. The surrounding countryside comprises woodland, arable farmland and grazing/meadow land.

Compliance status
This website is partially compliant with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines version 2.1 AA standard.
We know that certain aspects of this website may prevent it from being fully accessible.
Content that’s not within the scope of the accessibility regulations
PDFs and other documents
Some of our PDFs and Word documents are essential to providing our services. For example, we have PDFs with information on how users can access our services, and forms published as Word documents. By September 2020, we plan to either fix these or replace them with accessible HTML pages.
The accessibility regulations do not require us to fix PDFs or other documents published before 23 September 2018 if they’re not essential to providing our services. For example, we do not plan to fix some financial documents that are scanned images and cannot be read by a screen reader.
Any new PDFs or Word documents we publish will meet accessibility standards.
Live video
We do not plan to add captions to live video streams because live video is exempt from meeting the accessibility regulations.
