About the area
Watton is a lovely place to live, it embraces the steady and peaceful life that can still be found in Norfolk.
Nearby, the thriving city of Norwich has great shopping facilities and provides hours of entertainment with excellent cultural facilities including The Forum, The Theatre Royal, galleries and museums and a host of bars and restaurants. The historic cathedral and castle are also worth visiting.
The North Norfolk Coast, an area of outstanding natural beauty, provides miles of unspoilt secluded golden beaches, sailing, bird watching and much more.
Norfolk is famous for many open gardens and historic country houses and Thetford Forest, with hundreds of acres of historic woodland, is a perfect day out. Closer to home are Watton Walks, Wayland Wood, The Pingo Trail and many nature reserves and bridleways.
