The Medieval village of Little Walsingham and neighbouring Great Walsingham is a centre of pilgrimage, it has two main Shrines: the 14th Century Slipper Chapel is the Roman Catholic National Shrine of Our Lady and the Anglican Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham, while the Abbey grounds contain the ruins of the original Priory founded in 1153.
For a village of its size, Little Walsingham supports an amazing number of shops, mainly tourist/pilgrim shops but also a mini-supermarket, tea shops and 2 public houses. An old farmyard (owned by the Walsingham Estate) has been converted into a range of shops which boast the award winning Farm Shop. The village also has a doctor's surgery and a primary school. Linking Little Walsingham to the coastal town of Wells-next-the-Sea, some 4 miles away, is the Wells and Walsingham Light Railway.
