It is located in South Norfolk District close to the border with the county of Suffolk.
The Starston village sign features a wind pump that was used to transport water from the Beck river up to Starston Place, which was demolished during the early 1900s. The wind pump can still be seen from the roadside.
Between 1856 and 1866 it had its own railway station on the Waveney Valley Line but it was closed to passenger trains through lack of use.
