SOUTH WALSHAM
South Walsham, a charming Broadland village, is perfect for those who enjoy sailing or paddle-boarding. Located a mile from South Walsham Broad, it features Fleet Dyke with free 24-hour moorings for exploration. A footpath leads around the Broad’s staithe, suitable for rowing boats, revealing a green surrounded by thatched cottages.

The village boasts a hall with regular events, a bar, and function room, The Viking. A recreation ground hosts a football pitch, cricket club, and play areas for children, with a Pre-School and Primary School nearby.

Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden, once part of the South Walsham Estate, served as a WWII convalescent home before its transformation by Major Henry Broughton, 2nd Lord Fairhaven. Over 15 years, he restored it into a stunning garden, opened to the public in 1975. Visitors can enjoy its award-winning tearoom and gift shop selling local produce.

Two medieval churches, St Mary’s (13th century) and St Lawrence’s (14th century), share a churchyard. St Mary’s is still in use, while St Lawrence’s, damaged by fire in 1827, is now a centre for training and the arts.

Close to Norwich and Norfolk’s beaches and forests, South Walsham offers a quintessential village lifestyle with excellent rail links and rural charm.
