WEASENHAM If your heart is set on the gentle bustle of a market town, but within easy reach of the coast and the countryside, Weasenham could be top of your list.

Being only seven miles from Fakenham, and little over 10 to Wells-next-the-Sea - this countryside spot could be your best of both worlds.

Split into two, Weasenham has an All Saints and a St Peters - with both areas named after their churches. The village offers glorious countryside views and has a good primary school.

In nearby Fakenham, there's plenty to keep you entertained including the thriving independent Central Cinema, a perennial favourite with locals. Enjoy a fun glass-blowing session with the kids at Langham Glass, reconnect with nature at Pensthorpe or blow the cobwebs with a walk at nearby Sculthorpe Moor.

For something fancier, dress up to the nines and enjoy a day out and a flutter at Fakenham Racecourse, or team up with your playing pals for a round at Fakenham Golf Club, set in and around the racecourse. And Thursford is just four miles away with its magnificent collection of steam engines and organs – a visit to its Christmas spectacular gives a West End theatre excursion a run for its money!

Make time to explore the Fakenham Lancaster Heritage Trail, a series of 32 plaques which bring the town's industrial past to life. Originally a vibrant agricultural centre, during the 19th century Fakenham rose to prominence as a major centre for printing – spot the printing blocks which have been set in the surface of the market place and date back to 1250. The stallholders still set out their wares every Thursday with a farmers' market on the last Saturday of the month.

Foodies are spoilt for choice with locally farmed meat, produce and award winning Mrs Temple's cheese available to fill your pantry at nearby Walsingham Farm Shops. Save the washing up and dine out at The Ostrich Inn, which has been serving locals since 1841, or indulge at Sculthorpe Mill, which was awarded a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2022, on the edge of town.

Great Massingham is an attractive and quiet rural village with a strong community between the busy market towns of King's Lynn and Fakenham. The village has a central green (featured in Countryfile) with duck ponds and wildlife, good local shops including post office, a school, pre-school and excellent local walks. There is also a medical centre and village hall with a fortnightly folk club and monthly cinema club, and social club with extensive sports facilities including tennis courts, Bowling Green, football pitch, children's play area and outdoor gym. The Dabbling Duck provides a congenial watering hole with an excellent restaurant and there is also an excellent tearoom, The Cartshed. The church, St Mary's, has a magnificent 13th century porch and fine 15th century painted glass. The Norfolk Coast with its unspoilt coastline is just over 15 miles away.
