Swanton Abbott is a quiet Norfolk village located 5 miles from the Norfolk Broads and 8 miles from the North Norfolk Beaches. Our favourites are Cromer (for the Pier), Overstrand, Stiffkey and Wells. You can shop locally at North Walsham, Wroxham or Aylsham where you can catch the miniature stream railway to Wroxham to visit Roys Department Store or to enjoy a broads cruise or hire a day boat. You may wish to visit the Cathedral City of Norwich which is a mixture of old and new, being a medieval centre with two shopping malls and ' Norwich Lanes'. You can also visit the two National Trust properties of Blickling Hall and Felbrigg which are under half an hour's drive away. Lots of people bring their bikes and enjoy cycling on the quiet lanes. For children there is Wroxham Barns with its Junior Farm and craft barns and also Bewilderwood an outdoor adventure park both a short drive away. Swanton Abbott is well situated to visit all of these places without having to drive far.
