The Location

Filby is a peaceful little village tucked between Filby Broad and Ormesby Little Broad, both part of the Norfolk Broads National Park. It’s the kind of place where the water is calm, the wildlife is abundant, and life moves at a gentler pace. The broads here aren’t linked to the main boating network, which means they stay wonderfully quiet and unspoilt. It’s a lovely spot for anyone who enjoys being close to nature, whether that’s watching birds skim across the water, strolling along the boardwalk, or simply soaking up the stillness.

Locals put a lot of care into where they live, Filby has won Britain in Bloom multiple times and it shows in the colourful displays that brighten the village in summer. There’s a real sense of togetherness here, with the village hall hosting clubs, events, and gatherings throughout the year. You’ll also find All Saints’ Church, a lovely historic building where the community is working to restore the old bells.

For day-to-day life, Filby has its own village shop and post office, making it easy to pick up essentials without leaving the village. There are also cosy pubs and restaurants dotted around the local area, perfect for a relaxed meal after a walk by the water. The broads offer plenty to do too, from peaceful fishing spots (including wheelchair-accessible platforms) to rowing boat hire and gentle waterside walks. Wildlife lovers will be in their element, with everything from great crested grebes in summer to buzzards circling overhead.

Filby sits between Caister-on-Sea and Acle, so you’re close to sandy, unspoilt beaches as well as good transport links. Acle offers regular trains and buses into Norwich, where historic streets sit alongside modern shops, cafés, and entertainment. Great Yarmouth is only a short drive away too. So while Filby feels wonderfully rural and quiet, it’s far from isolated, you’ve got coastline, countryside, and city life all within easy reach.
