Doughton is a small village located in the county of Norfolk, England. Situated approximately 5 miles south-east of the market town of Fakenham, Doughton is nestled in the picturesque countryside that characterizes this region. The village is part of the civil parish of Stibbard and is home to a close-knit community of around 100 residents.

The village of Doughton features a typical rural landscape with charming cottages and traditional brick houses. The surrounding area is predominantly agricultural, with fields of crops and grazing pastures. The village itself is centered around a village green, which serves as a focal point for community events and gatherings.

Although Doughton is a small village, it benefits from its proximity to larger towns such as Fakenham and the city of Norwich, which is approximately 20 miles to the southeast. This offers residents access to a wider range of amenities, including shops, supermarkets, schools, and healthcare services.

The village is well-connected by road, with the A148 running just to the north of Doughton, providing easy access to neighboring towns and cities. Public transportation options are limited, with a few bus services connecting Doughton to surrounding areas.

Doughton enjoys a peaceful and tranquil setting, with beautiful countryside walks and scenic views. The village is a popular choice for those seeking a quieter, rural lifestyle, away from the hustle and bustle of larger towns and cities.
