Woodbastwick ( ) is a village and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. It is located on the River Bure between Cockshoot Broad and Salhouse Broad and is The Broads and close to Bure Marshes National Nature Eeserve. The city of Norwich lies to the south-west. The civil parish also includes the villages of Ranworth and Panxworth.
The village name relates to bast, a pliable substance found under the bark of the lime tree. Danish and Saxon invaders used bast as a form of binding to tie leggings and other items. As a consequence, Woodbastwick's village sign shows two invaders tying their leggings.
