SCH Areas & Properties - Norfolk

Cromer

Picture of PropertyThe town of Cromer is one of Norfolk’s most picturesque seaside resorts retaining an air of Victorian and Edwardian charm.  Cromer is the administrative heart of North Norfolk and is famous for crab fishing, its wide open beaches, pier and medieval church.  The streets of the town are little changed from the Victorian era and many of the landmarks established in the era of ‘summer timers’ are still in place, as familiar to today’s residents as they were to their predecessors one hundred years ago.

Diss

Picture of PropertyThe south Norfolk town of Diss is situated on the valley of the River Waveney and was a recent winner of the ‘best kept market town in Norfolk’ award.  The market is held every Friday and is frequented by a number of traders specialising in local produce.  In 2006 the town joined the ‘cittaslow’ organisation, an INITIATIVE promoting the concept of ‘slow towns’.

Gorleston on Sea

Picture of PropertyThe coastal town of Gorleston is part of the Borough of Great Yarmouth on the east coast of Norfolk although it has retained more of its Edwardian charm than its famous neighbour.  Great Yarmouth can boast one of the most impressive sandy beaches in Britain and one of the largest markets in Norfolk.  Most major supermarkets are located in the area, the largest hospital in the area is located in Gorleston and there are excellent local transport links.

Hunstanton

Picture of Property“Sunny Hunny” is a unique seaside town for despite its location it is the only east coast seaside resort where the sun can be seen to set over the sea.  In addition to its beach Hunstanton benefits from a number of early Victorian squares, most prominent of which is Boston Square, in the heart of the town, from which one can see across The Wash to the Lincolnshire coast.  The promenade, which leads to the ruins of St Edmunds Chapel and Lighthouse, is littered with cafes, pubs and local restaurants and a new bowling alley has been built on the site of the old pier.  There is a small high street and the nearest large town is Kings Lynn which is easily reached by local bus services.

North Walsham

Picture of PropertyClose to the Broads and the largest market town in North Norfolk, North Walsham can boast a proud history within “Nelson’s County” as Horatio Nelson, and his brother William, were both boarders at the local Free Grammar School (now part of Paston College).  The town has many shops and a traditional bandstand and remains within easy reach of Norwich and other large local towns.
