LONGHAM
Longham is a peaceful village in central Norfolk, situated around four miles north-west of Dereham and roughly midway between Norwich and King’s Lynn. Surrounded by attractive countryside, the village offers a network of scenic footpaths and bridleways ideal for walking, cycling and exploring the rural landscape. At the heart of the community is the welcoming White Horse pub and a well-used village hall with adjacent playing fields.

The neighbouring village of Litcham provides a good range of everyday amenities, including a village shop, delicatessen, public house and both primary and secondary schools. A wider selection of shops, supermarkets, cafés and leisure facilities can be found in the nearby market town of Dereham, which hosts a popular twice-weekly market and a mix of independent and national retailers. Dereham also features a number of historic attractions, including the Mid-Norfolk Railway heritage line, Dereham Windmill and the 16th-century Bishop Bonner’s Cottage.

The surrounding area is rich in history and countryside attractions. Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse Museum is just a short drive away, while the impressive ruins of Castle Acre Priory and the National Trust’s Oxburgh Hall are also within easy reach. For dining out, the award-winning Brisley Bell in nearby Brisley is widely regarded as one of Norfolk’s finest village pubs.

With well-regarded local schools, leisure facilities nearby and convenient access to Norwich, King’s Lynn and the North Norfolk coast — including Wells-next-the-Sea around 20 miles away — Longham offers an appealing balance of rural tranquillity and accessibility, making it an ideal location to enjoy the best of Norfolk country living.
