Welcome to Carbrooke

Carbrooke is a small village located in the county of Norfolk, England. It is situated approximately 5 miles west of the market town of Watton and 20 miles west of the city of Norwich. The village has a population of around 800 people and is surrounded by beautiful countryside, making it a popular destination for walkers and cyclists. The village is also home to a number of historic buildings, including the 14th-century St. Peter and St. Paul's Church.

One of the most notable features of Carbrooke is its rich history. The village has been inhabited since at least the Roman period, and there are a number of archaeological sites in the area that date back to this time. In the Middle Ages, Carbrooke was an important centre for the wool trade, and many of the village's historic buildings date from this period. Today, visitors can explore the village's history by visiting the local museum, which is housed in a former school building and contains a range of exhibits on the village's past.

Despite its small size, Carbrooke is a vibrant and active community. The village has a number of local amenities, including a post office, a village hall, and a pub. There are also a number of community groups and clubs, including a gardening club, a history society, and a youth club. The village hosts a number of events throughout the year, including a summer fete, a fireworks display, and a Christmas market, which bring together residents and visitors alike.
