Moving to Norfolk, town by town

Four towns to start with

Reepham Market Place

Broadland

Reepham

One of the smallest market towns in the county, with a Georgian Market Place, a Wednesday market and the Marriott’s Way running past the old station towards Norwich.

Holt high street

North Norfolk

Holt

A Georgian town a few minutes inland from the coast. Gresham’s School and tight limits on new building keep family houses selling fast, and there is no railway station.

Aylsham town centre

Broadland

Aylsham

Norfolk’s first Cittaslow town, with an independent high street, the Bure Valley Railway to Wroxham and Blickling Hall about a mile and a half out.

Cromer seafront and pier

North Norfolk

Cromer

The pier and the crab are what visitors know. For residents it is the station on the Bittern Line to Norwich and a hospital in town.

How the guide works

The Norfolk Living Guide is a small independent publication, edited in Norfolk. Four contributors cover the county between them, each with a beat. House prices come from HM Land Registry, school ratings from the latest Ofsted inspection, broadband from Ofcom and population from the ONS. Anything else is checked against a named source, usually the council, the operator or the regulator. If you spot something wrong, tell us and we will correct the page.
