Welcome to Sco Ruston

The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a number of historic buildings, including the 14th-century St. Michael's Church. The village also has a pub, The Bluebell, which serves traditional pub food and real ale.

One of the main attractions of Sco Ruston is its proximity to the Norfolk Broads, a network of rivers and lakes that are popular for boating and fishing.
