THOMPSON A picturesque village with a fair selection of amenities, Thompson now benefits from optic fibre internet connectivity. There is a well-regarded primary school in addition to the village church, public house and restaurant – The Chequers Inn - a post office, Community Hall and a Millennium Green. Throughout the year, the Community Hall organises various events and is available for private hire. The church also holds fundraising events, including the ever-popular Lavender's Lunch. For those avid runners, Thompson hosts an annual 5km and 10km run

There are country walks nearby including Peddars Way and there is easy access to the A11/M11 where there are good links by rail and road to Cambridge and London and approximately 23 miles from Norwich.

Just three miles away is the market town of Watton, well-served by primary, junior and secondary schools, a GP clinic, dental surgery and chemist, along with a supermarket, Post Office and sports centre.

Watton is a strong rural community which comes together each year for the annual Wayland Show, one of England's oldest agricultural shows.

Just outside the town you'll find Loch Neaton and Wayland Wood, the site of the children's tale, Babes in the Wood, which are both lovely places to visit and the beauty of the area makes it an unmissable place to explore.

Nearby, enjoy the cycle trails at Thetford Forest, take a trip to Melsopp Farm Park, head over to Snetterton race circuit, or book a game at Richmond Park Golf Course, an 18-hole course with driving range set in 100 acres of parkland.

Well-exercised, there are several good pubs serving real ales and good grub to recharge your energy – try The Willow House, The Waggon & Horses in nearby Griston or The Old Bell at Saham Toney, north of Watton.
