GREAT CRESSINGHAM

The village of Great Cressingham is approximately 5 miles from both Watton and Swaffham and has a village church and public house. The fantastic village green provides wonderful amenity space along with seating areas and the children's play area. Rural sports, country walks, two excellent golf courses (within 5 miles), stately homes and formalised bird watching centres are all available locally.

The village also has a lively community, hosting regular events including quiz nights, music events, and coffee mornings at the village hall and pub.

The market town of Watton boasts essential amenities, including primary, junior, and secondary schools, a GP clinic, dental surgery, chemist, supermarket, Post Office, and sports centre. Loch Neaton, reputedly England's sole loch, originated in 1875 when Scottish railway workers excavated land, creating a lake filled by the River Wissey. Though the Victorian-era attractions have vanished, Loch Neaton remains a scenic spot for leisurely walks and fishing.

Additionally, the nearby market town of Swaffham provides a wide array of local amenities, including Waitrose, Tesco, Asda, various shops, pubs, and restaurants. It is also home to three doctors' surgeries, primary, secondary, and higher education schools, as well as numerous leisure and sports facilities, including a top-notch golf club.

Nearby Wayland Wood, rumoured to be the setting for the children's tale "Babes in the Wood," invites exploration with its natural beauty. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore Thetford Forest's cycling trails or tee off at Richmond Park Golf Course, an expansive 18-hole course set in picturesque parkland.
