WALSINGHAM
The pretty village of Walsingham attracts pilgrims, artists, birdwatchers and those seeking a slower pace of life.

The village has many fine period cottages, offers good local shopping including a vibrant farm shop, and has a popular restaurant, a good pub and a primary school. It is well known throughout the country as a religious centre, with pilgrimages to the Anglican Shrine and the Slipper Chapel at nearby Houghton St Giles.

Steeped in history, Walsingham was one of the most important pilgrimage sites in medieval Europe, often referred to as “England’s Nazareth”. The village retains much of its historic charm, with narrow streets, traditional flint cottages, and a tranquil atmosphere. The ruins of Walsingham Abbey and its beautiful grounds, home to a spectacular display of snowdrops in early spring, offer a peaceful place for reflection and walking.

Walsingham is also home to a number of independent shops, tea rooms, and galleries, adding to its appeal for visitors and residents alike. The Wells & Walsingham Light Railway, a narrow-gauge heritage line, links the village with the seaside town of Wells-next-the-Sea, providing a scenic and nostalgic journey through the countryside. Surrounded by open fields and just a short drive from the stunning North Norfolk coast, Walsingham combines cultural significance with natural beauty, making it a truly special place to live or visit.
