Halvergate is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk, north of Reedham,[1] between the Rivers Bure and Yare, within The Broads. To the east of the village are the Halvergate Marshes, an area of drainage marsh which was the site of the first Environmentally Sensitive Area in the United Kingdom in 1987.[2][3]
The parish covers an area of 24.65 km2 (9.52 sq mi) and had a population of 468 in 202 households at the 2001 census.[4] For the purposes of local government, it falls within the district of Broadland. The civil parish includes the village of Tunstall.
