While Edingthorpe itself is a small, scattered village without its own shop or school, essential amenities are conveniently located in the nearby towns and villages. The closest shops, including supermarkets, convenience stores, pharmacies, and cafés, can be found in North Walsham, a short 5 to 10-minute drive away. For education, local children typically attend Bacton Primary School, just under 2 miles to the east, or Mundesley Junior and Infant Schools, both also within a 10-minute drive. North Walsham High School serves as the main secondary option for the area.

Transport links, while rural, remain accessible. Though there is no direct public bus through Mill Road, a community Dial-a-Ride service offers scheduled transport to and from North Walsham.
