Both counties are home to such distinctive and varied towns and villages, cherished by locals and visitors alike.

Mulbarton, just a few miles south of Norwich, is a quintessential English village. Its focal point is the expansive village common surrounded by traditional cottages and medieval church. Perfect for leisurely strolls or a peaceful family picnic, the common is a hub of community activity. Due to Mulbartons’ quick, commutable distance into the city and good range of amenities, the village attracts young families, demonstrated by the village’s strong sense of togetherness.

The popular neighbouring villages of New and Old Buckenham, each boast a unique feel. New Buckenham is a rare example of a medieval planned settlement, with a fascinating grid layout and a wealth of historic buildings, whilst benefitting useful, daily facilities such as a church, public house, cafe and village store. Just a couple of miles away, Old Buckenham features a prominent pond and one of the largest village greens in England which is a striking feature of this picturesque village. Like its neighbour, the village also has a range of good facilities, such as convenience store, two public houses and a Secondary school. 

Six miles west of Wymondham is the popular market town of Hingham which has distant connections to former American president Abraham Lincoln, with many early settlers from the town emigrating to Massachusetts around the 17th century. Hingham features a beautiful Georgian Market Place and the grand St. Andrew’s Church.
