The airport is 6 km north of Norwich center, approximately 10 minutes' drive via A140. Perfect for launching your Norfolk journey directly without detours.

The airport borders Horsham St Faith, a small village with historical connections to the RAF. North of the airport, the open Norfolk landscape opens toward Aylsham (15 km) and the Broads edge at Coltishall (8 km east-northeast).
