Welcome to Horsford

Horsford is a village located in the county of Norfolk, England. It is situated approximately 6 miles north of the city of Norwich and has a population of around 2,500 people. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a number of historic buildings and landmarks, including the Grade II listed St. Mary's Church.

One of the main attractions in Horsford is the Horsford Woods, which is a popular spot for walking, cycling, and picnicking. The woods cover an area of around 200 acres and are home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, foxes, and badgers. There are also several ponds and streams within the woods, which provide a habitat for a range of aquatic creatures.

Another notable feature of Horsford is the Horsford Castle, which is a ruined medieval castle that dates back to the 12th century. The castle was once a stronghold of the powerful de Vaux family and played an important role in the history of the region. Today, the castle is a popular tourist attraction and is open to the public for guided tours and events throughout the year.
