SWARDESTON

The pretty village of Swardeston is in south Norfolk, close to the city of Norwich and the popular residential areas of Mulbarton and Cringleford. Swardeston Common is a haven for wildlife and is popular with walkers and there are numerous footpaths on the doorstep. There’s a friendly and welcoming community, and the cricket pitch and pavilion are well used by the village residents.

About five miles away, Norwich’s perfectly preserved medieval streets are home to a thriving community of small businesses, a vibrant food scene and an established arts culture.

Named as one of the best places to live in 2021, Norwich lies approximately 20 miles from the coast at the confluence of the River Yare and the River Wensum, the latter still bending its way through the heart of the city. In the 11th Century, Norwich was the second largest city in the country, and today is still the UK’s most complete medieval city. Strolling through the historic cobbled streets of Elm Hill, whatever the season, the Tudor architecture retains its character and beauty. Laced with merchant’s houses, thatching, individual homes, speciality shops and small cafes, you’ll be led toward the 1,000-year-old Norwich Cathedral.

To the north of the city the University of East Anglia is a remarkable example of brutalist architecture, and the campus is also home to the Sainsbury centre, a permanent collection of modern and ethnographic art, gifted by the Sainsbury family.

When the bright lights call, trains to Liverpool Street take just 90 minutes, and the city’s airport flies to a number of UK destinations, as well as direct to Amsterdam.
