ALDERFORD About ten miles north-west of Norwich, Alderford is a small, charming village, with a close community. Alderford Common provides a lovely place walks or blackberry picking, and Marriott's Way makes it an easy off-road cycle ride to the market town of Reepham, or further afield if you wish.
By road, Reepham is a little over three miles away, and offers a small supermarket, several cafes and Dial House Restaurant and Bed & Breakfast. Furthermore, there is an art gallery, several antique shops, a newsagent, post office, library, health care centre, pharmacy, butchers, a whole foods and hardware store, and there are two further public houses.
Also within a couple of miles is Great Witchingham/Lenwade, which has a good village school, as well as a local shop, public house, garage, butchers, bakers, and cafe, and neighbouring Swannington church is host to a regular lunch club.
The village is set within the renowned Reepham High School and Sixth Form Centre catchment area.
