SWAFFHAM An historic and thriving market town, Swaffham is situated approximately 15 miles east of King's Lynn and approximately 30 miles from Norwich.

The town has a rich history dating back to Anglo-Saxon times. It was once a centre for the wool and sheep trade and its popular market, featuring a Saturday morning country auction, dates back some 800 years. Today, there are weekly indoor and outdoor markets selling locally sourced meat, fish, cheese, baked goods, vegetables, clothing and arts & crafts.

The landmark 'Buttercross' presented to the town in 1783 and featuring a statue of Ceres, the Roman goddess of the harvest, can be found at one end of the marketplace. At the other end is the town sign depicting the legendary Pedlar of Swaffham who, according to folklore, found buried treasure in a local orchard.

The town boasts many interesting and historic buildings including the parish church of St Peter and St Paul and a museum showcasing local history and Swaffham's links with the family of Howard Carter, famous for the 1922 discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb.

There is an extensive range of local amenities including a Waitrose, Tesco, Asda, Iceland, further shops, pubs and restaurants, three doctors' surgeries and primary, secondary and higher schools together with a variety of leisure and sports activities including an excellent golf club.

The town offers a great base for those who wish for a perfect family life with local activities and entertainment including theatre, open gardens, walking trails, nature reserves and more.

Swaffham enjoys excellent road access via the A47 and, from King's Lynn or Downham Market stations, is around two hours by train to London. Interesting places to visit within easy reach include Cambridge, Ely, Norwich and the Norfolk coastal towns of Hunstanton, Wells, Burnham Market, Sheringham and Cromer.

Norwich Airport offers direct flights to a variety of international destinations including Amsterdam, a major hub with links to the rest of the world.
