Ringland, Norfolk

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ringland is a rural village (population 217^[1]) in Norfolk, England, situated in the valley of the River Wensum, approximately 7 miles north-west of Norwich. Parts of the Wensum valley within Ringland parish constitute a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

The parish church of St. Peter's has a 13th century tower and a 14th-15th century nave and chancel.

Some notably hilly terrain (Ringland Hills) lies within the parish to the east of the village and north of the Wensum. Painter Alfred Munnings produced a work entitled Ponies on Ringland Hills.

The parish of Ringland lies very close to three of four alternative routes of the planned Northern Distributor Road for Norwich; parishioners are in opposition to the scheme.^{[citation needed]}
