It is a civil parish within the parish council of Holt, and the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).

The village has a long history as a fishing port, and it is believed to have been a thriving fishing village since the 12th century. The Stiffkey River is the main waterway that runs through the village, connecting the River Burn and the River Glaven.

The church was built in the Norman style and has a central tower and nave, with a large porch and a north aisle. The church is still used for religious services today, and is well worth a visit.

Stiffkey is also home to the Red Lion, a traditional pub which has been serving locals and visitors alike since the 18th century. The pub is a great place to go for a drink and a bite to eat, and is a popular spot for live music on the weekends.
