Places to see in ( Wells next the Sea - UK )

Wells-next-the-Sea is a port on the North Norfolk coast of England. The civil parish has an area of 16.31 km². Wells next the Sea is 15 miles (24 km) to the east of the resort of Hunstanton, 20 miles (32 km) to the west of Cromer, and 10 miles (16 km) north of Fakenham. The city of Norwich lies 32 miles (51 km) to the south-east. Nearby villages include Blakeney, Burnham Market, Burnham Thorpe, Holkham and Walsingham.

Wells next the Sea has long thrived as a seaport and is now also a seaside resort with a popular beach that can be reached on foot or by a narrow gauge railway that runs partway alongside the mile-long sea wall north of the harbour. The beach is known for its long flat terrain, abstract sand dunes, varied unique beach huts and a naturist area situated to the west at Holkham. A land-locked brackish pool called Abraham's Bosom is used for pleasure boating and canoeing. The beach is backed by dense pine woods which are part of the Holkham National Nature Reserve.

Wells next the Sea stretches nearly a mile inland. The majority of shops and other such businesses are now found on Staithe Street but up to the 1960s commercial premises were also to be found along High Street which continues south towards St Nicholas's Church.

A feature of Wells next the Sea is the area known as The Buttlands, a large green ringed by lime trees. Large elegant Georgian houses overlook The Buttlands, as do the Crown Hotel, Globe Inn and the Wells Catholic Church. If you exit The Buttlands down the hill at its south-west corner you can see Ware Hall, which was rebuilt over a period of years from the 1970s by Miss May Savidge, who brought it in parts when she moved from Ware in Hertfordshire.

Formerly the town was served by Wells-on-Sea railway station and was connected to the British Rail network by two lines. The line westwards towards King's Lynn was never reinstated after damage in the 1953 East Coast Floods, while the line to Norwich via Fakenham, Dereham and Wymondham was a victim of the Beeching Axe of the 1960s.

Places to see in ( Dereham - UK )

Dereham, also known as East Dereham, is a town and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. It is situated on the A47 road, about 15 miles west of the city of Norwich and 25 miles east of King's Lynn.

For the purposes of local government, Dereham falls within, and is the centre of administration for, the district of Breckland. The town Dereham should not be confused with the Norfolk village of West Dereham, which lies about 25 miles (40 km) away.

The railway arrived in Dereham when a single track line to Wymondham opened in 1847. In 1848 a second line, to King's Lynn was opened. In 1849 a line from Dereham to Fakenham was opened, this line being extended to the coastal town of Wells-On-Sea by 1857. In 1862 the town's railways became part of the Great Eastern Railway. The town had its own railway depot and a large complex of sidings, serving local industry. In 1882 the line between Dereham and Wymondham was doubled, to allow for the increasing levels of traffic.

The railway between Dereham and Wymondham has been preserved, and is now operated as a tourist line by the Mid-Norfolk Railway Preservation Trust. This charitable company also owns the line north towards County School railway station, it has started to gradually reopen the line towards North Elmham and aims to eventually relay the line to Fakenham.

The town of Dereham lies on the site of a monastery founded by Saint Withburga in the seventh century. A holy well at the western end of St Nicholas' Church supposedly began to flow when her body was stolen from the town by monks from Ely, who took the remains back to their town. Notable buildings in the town include the pargetted Bishop Bonner's Cottage, built in 1502, the Norman parish church, a windmill which was extensively renovated in 2013 and a large mushroom-shaped water tower. The Gressenhall Museum of Rural Life is nearby. The town also hosts the headquarters of the Mid-Norfolk Railway, which runs trains over an 11.5-mile railway south to Wymondham, as well as owning the line 6 miles north to North Elmham and County School Station.

Swaffham, Norfolk, Walking Tour, Historic Town, English Countryside, 4K

Embarking on a walking tour of Swaffham in Norfolk is like stepping into a tapestry of history, nature, and vibrant community life. Swaffham, a market town rich in heritage and charm, offers an array of sights that weave together the past and present into an engaging narrative for any visitor.

The Market Place- Your journey begins at the heart of Swaffham, the Market Place. This bustling center is home to the iconic Butter Cross, gifted to the town by Lord Orford in 1783. The Palladian-styled structure is crowned with a figure of Ceres, the goddess of agriculture, symbolizing Swaffham's deep-rooted connection to the land.

Swaffham Museum: A Gateway to the Past - A short stroll from the Market Place leads you to the Swaffham Museum. Here, you can delve into the town's history, from the Stone Age to modern times. The museum houses the Symonds collection of figures and celebrates local heroes like Howard Carter, the archaeologist who discovered Tutankhamun's tomb, and Jem Mace, the prizefighter.

Swaefas Way: A Tribute to Ancestors - As you leave the museum, follow the Swaefas Way, a path named after the Germanic tribe that settled here. This circular route offers a gentle walk through the town and its outskirts, allowing you to appreciate the serene Norfolk landscape.

The Assembly Rooms and Regency Swaffham - Continuing your tour, you'll come across the Assembly Rooms, a testament to Swaffham's social prominence during the late 18th century. The town was once a hub for balls, soirées, and concerts attended by the likes of Horatio, Lord Nelson.

St Peter and St Paul's Church: Architectural Splendor - The parish Church of St Peter and St Paul's is an architectural marvel dating back to the 15th century. Its distinctive spire is a landmark visible for miles. Inside, you'll find exquisite Tudor windows, partly funded by the legendary Swaffham Pedlar, John Chapman.

The Pedlar's Legacy - The tale of the Swaffham Pedlar is interwoven with the town's identity. According to legend, Chapman's discovery of a treasure in his garden led to his generous donations to the church. The town sign, hand-carved, commemorates his story.

Green Britain Centre: Embracing Sustainability - On the outskirts of Swaffham lies the Green Britain Centre, a symbol of the town's commitment to sustainability. The center promotes green technologies and offers a unique perspective on the future of environmental conservation.

Reflections and Relaxation - Take a moment to reflect on the rich tapestry of Swaffham. From its historical roots to its vibrant present, the town offers a peaceful retreat and a warm welcome to all who wander its paths.

Norwich (/ˈnɒrɪdʒ, -ɪtʃ/ (audio speaker iconlisten)) is a city and district of Norfolk, England, of which it is the county town. Norwich is by the River Wensum, about 100 miles (160 km) north-east of London, 40 miles (64 km) north of Ipswich and 65 miles (105 km) east of Peterborough. As the seat of the See of Norwich, with one of the country's largest medieval cathedrals, it is the largest city in East Anglia.

The population of the Norwich City Council local authority area was estimated at 143,135 in 2019, whilst the wider built-up area had a population of 213,166 Norwich stands north of the A47 (bypassed to the south of the city), which connects it with Great Yarmouth to the east, and King’s Lynn and Peterborough to the west. There are plans to upgrade the A47, especially sections that are still single-carriageway, prompted partly by ongoing construction of Great Yarmouth Outer Harbour. Norwich is linked to Cambridge via the A11, which leads to the M11 motorway for London and the M25. It is linked to Ipswich to the south by the A140 and to Lowestoft to the south-east by the A146. Norwich has the UK's largest independent car club.

Norwich Airport (ICAO code EGSH) is a feeder to KLM's Schiphol hub. Loganair and TUI Airways both serve Norwich. Through Bristow Helicopters, Norwich Airport caters to the offshore oil and gas industry. There is also a strong holiday charter business there. The airport was originally the airfield of RAF Horsham St Faith. One of the old RAF hangars became the home of Air UK, which grew out of Air Anglia and was then absorbed by the Dutch airline KLM.

Cycling
River Wensum
The River Wensum near Norwich Cathedral and the Maid's Head Hotel

Cycling
National Cycle Route 1 passes through Norwich, linking Beccles and Fakenham (and eventually Dover and the Shetland Islands).

Water
The River Yare is navigable from the sea at Great Yarmouth up to Trowse, south of the city. From there the River Wensum is navigable into Norwich up to New Mills and is crossed by the Novi Sad Friendship Bridge. Scheduled trips through the city and out to the nearby The Broads are run by City Boats from outside Norwich station and also Elm Hill. In June 2012, Norwich City Council gave permission for punting on the River Wensum.

Proposed developments
In 2017 the first part of a new 12-mile (19 km) road, the Norwich Northern Distributor Road, linking from the A1067 to the north-west of the city to the A47 road to the east of Norwich was opened. The remainder of the road opened in 2018. There is also discussion of building the Norwich Western Link section from the A1067 to the A47 southern bypass to the west, as originally proposed.

Sustrans plans to build a bridge between the Riverside area and Whitlingham Country Park as part of the Connect2 project, using funds from the National Lottery. The country park is currently cut off from the main residential areas by the River Yare and River Wensum.

Other proposals in the Norwich Transport Strategy include limiting traffic on some roads, introducing five rapid bus links into the city, and creating a train/tram link to the Rackheath eco-town.

Geography
Norwich is 100 miles (161 km) north-east of London, 40 miles (64 km) north of Ipswich and 65 miles (104 km)
