Scrouton is a charming rural village nestled in the heart of Norfolk, England. Located about 16 miles west of Norwich and 4 miles from the market town of Watton, it offers a peaceful countryside setting with a rich agricultural heritage.
Scoulton was known for sugar beet production and pig farming, though today it serves more as a tranquil home base for commuters working in Norwich and surrounding areas. The village is also notable for its partially thatched Saxon church, a beautiful example of Norfolk’s historic architecture.
Scoulton’s unique features is its wooded mere, a man-made lake created by flint quarrying. In the Middle Ages, it was famous for its colony of black-headed gulls, whose eggs were harvested to make a now-forgotten local delicacy called Scoulton Pie.
With its scenic surroundings, strong sense of community, and easy access to both nature and nearby towns, Scoulton is a hidden gem for those seeking a slower pace of life in the Norfolk countryside.
