Hockering
The small village of Hockering is just east of Dereham and north west of the city of Norwich. Quiet lanes and footpaths surround its rural location, perfect for exploring the Norfolk countryside on foot or by bicycle. The church of St Michael is a traditional 14th century church, located on The Street. Hockering is expanding rapidly and has a brilliant village shop, open 7 days a week, and a garage, located just 12 miles from Norwich airport. There’s great access to private schools as well as good village schools.

The cathedral city of Norwich is just 12 miles away: an enclave of culture and creativity, its perfectly preserved medieval streets are home to a thriving community of small businesses, a vibrant food scene and an established arts culture. In the 11th Century, Norwich was the second largest city in the country, and today is still the UK’s most complete medieval city. The historic cobbled streets of Elm Hill will lead you past Tudor architecture, merchant’s houses, thatching, individual homes, speciality shops and small cafes, toward the 1,000-year-old Norwich Cathedral.

When the bright lights call, trains to Liverpool Street take just 90 minutes, and the city’s airport flies to a number of UK destinations, as well as direct to Amsterdam.
