Norfolk Cottage

Norwich is fifteen miles away and is a very beautiful and historic city. It is a thriving shopping centre and has many wonderful theatres, cinemas and restaurants as well as the historic Museum and Assembly Rooms. There is The Puppet Theatre, the very old Elm Hill with original Tudor buildings, the Noverre Cinema and Tombland to mention just a few. Norwich is an easy drive from Mundesley and it is also on the main railway link from North Walsham.

North Walsham (7 miles away) is a pretty town and has the the nearest large supermarket which is open till 8pm daily and usual Sunday opening times.

Cromer and Sheringham, along the coast to the west of the village, are lovely seaside towns. Bigger and busier than Mundesley, they are well worth a visit. Cromer Pier has the last end-of-the-pier show in the country, and Cromer crabs are a famous local delicacy,and the boats, nets and pots can all be seen. Sheringham too has a fleet of boats which can be seen from down on the promenade, and at the end of the promenade is the lifeboat house which is open to the public most days in season. Pretty Corner on the hill above Sheringham is a stunning place to walk and picnic. In Summer rhododendrons bloom everywhere and make a spectacular sight.

Further inland, Aylsham is home (almost) to Blickling Hall. This is where Anne Boleyn lived before Henry VIII had her executed. It is a fine example of our national heritage and has wonderful gardens which are open to the public. Blickling Park in which it stands has some wonderful walks. One of them takes you through varied landscapes and quaint little villages to the best pub in north Norfolk, the Saracen�??s Head.

Wroxham, to the east, is on the Norfolk Broads and boasts its own special attractions. Not least, Wroxham Barns; a sweet little enclave of cottage industries just a few miles from North Walsham, (follow the signs). And then there are the Broads themselves. Easily accessible from Mundesley, the Broads offer many nature reserve walking trails as well as boating fun and wonderfully memorable days out.
