SOUTH WALSHAM A typical Broadland village, ideal for those that love to sail or paddle-board. South Walsham is located approximately one mile away from South Walsham Broad. Fleet Dyke has 24 hour free Moorings where you can park up your boat and explore further. Venture on the footpath around South Walsham Broad's village staithe, which is only suitable for rowing boats, and discover the pretty green surrounded by thatched cottages.

Continuing further into the village there is the village hall, which hosts regular events and has its own bar and function room, The Viking. There is also a recreation ground with a football pitch and cricket club. For those with younger children there is also a Pre-School and Primary School within the village.

Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden is located near the village hall. During World War Two, the house and formal gardens here were used as a convalescent home and training grounds for the home guard, over time the house had fallen into disrepair and the garden was overgrown. The hall, woodland, water garden and inner broad were all part of the South Walsham Estate, which was then purchased by Major Henry Broughton in 1946, who later became the 2nd Lord Fairhaven. He was an avid gardener and designed the garden himself. He hired a team to help him restore the gardens and gradually introduced a variety of plants from all over the world, it took 15 years for him to fully create the beautiful gardens here. After he passed away in 1973, he requested that the garden would be left in trust for the public to enjoy. In April 1975 it opened to the public. Fairhaven also has an award-winning tea room and a gift shop, which sells essentials - such as milk, sugar, and more - as well as local produce, and gifts. It is open to non-garden visitors.

Two medieval churches share the same churchyard within the centre of South Walsham village. St Mary's is still used today and dates back to the late 13th century. St Lawrence's, originally dating back to the 14th century, was badly damaged by a fire in 1827 but has since been restored as a centre for training and the arts.

Within walking distance of the village, both Upton and Ranworth offer Norfolk Wildlife Trust nature reserves - the ideal chance to enjoy the countryside and spot resident animals.

Perfectly situated to access all that Norfolk has to offer, from beaches to forests, yet still a stone's throw from the vibrant city of Norwich, possessing excellent rail links, South Walsham offers the idyllic Norfolk village lifestyle.
