Denver is a civil parish located in the county of Norfolk, England. Situated approximately 10 miles south-west of the city of Downham Market, Denver is a small village with a population of around 500 people. The parish covers an area of approximately 6 square miles.

Denver is historically known as a farming community, with agriculture playing a significant role in its economy. The fertile soils and favorable climate have made it an ideal location for crop cultivation, particularly for cereal production. The flat and open landscape of the area is characteristic of the surrounding Norfolk countryside.

One of the notable features of Denver is the Denver Mill, a windmill dating back to the 19th century. The mill is a well-preserved example of the traditional wind-powered machinery and serves as a popular tourist attraction, offering visitors the opportunity to learn about the milling process and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.

The village also benefits from its close proximity to the River Great Ouse, which runs alongside Denver. The river has historically been an important waterway for trade and transportation, and today it offers opportunities for recreational activities such as boating and fishing.

Denver is a quiet and picturesque village, attracting visitors seeking a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of larger towns and cities. The surrounding natural beauty, coupled with its rich agricultural heritage, makes Denver an appealing destination for those interested in rural life and history.
