The nearest major road is the A140 about 3 miles and it is about 9 miles from Diss to the south and 5 miles from Long Stratton to the east.
There is a modern primary school serving the needs of Aslacton, Great Moulton and Tibenham; parents may also choose to send their children to the larger first and middle schools at Long Stratton. At the age of 11, children are transferred to Long Stratton High School unless parents make other arrangements.
Employment in the village is mainly agricultural but there are also a few small privately run businesses.
