High Common Norfolk Map

About High Common

High Common rests within the Breckland landscape, a place where the wide Norfolk sky seems to stretch further. It lies 4.4 km north-west of Hingham (from Hingham: bearing 326°T, OS grid TF 994 057), and is situated north of Southburgh village. The fields here, often a pale gold under the summer sun, speak of the ancient agricultural rhythms that have shaped this land for centuries. Though small, High Common carries a quiet presence, a scattering of dwellings that seem to have emerged organically from the heath and sparse woodland. The air, particularly in the early morning, holds a certain crispness, carrying the scent of dry earth and distant gorse. The roads that thread through High Common are seldom busy, allowing the natural sounds of the countryside – the call of a curlew or the rustle of wind through sedge – to dominate.
