Portrait
Smallburgh is a sprawling village over an area of 1,255 acres (5.08 km2). The village straddles the A149 road that links King’s Lynn to Great Yarmouth. The community is bordered to the north and east by the River Ant and dykes and to the south and west by tracks and hedgerows. The name of the village comes from 'Bank of the River Smale', the Smale being the old name for the River Ant. Smale itself derives from Old English word smale or beorg which means hillock.
