Aylsham is a lovely market town where you can find a good range of shops, cafes, pubs and other facilities; it still runs a general market on Mondays and Fridays and the town is a great launch pad for discovering the numerous attractions of North Norfolk’s landscape, much of which is set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Nearby attractions include Blickling Hall and Park (2 miles) with a vast lake and over 950 acres of woodland and parkland. The Bure Valley Railway starts at Aylsham and runs a steam engine to neighbouring Wroxham (11.5 miles), where you can explore 125 miles of waterways within The Broads National Park. The coastal resort of Cromer with its famous pier and seaside shops is 11 miles to the north and travelling along the main coastal road in either direction means you will come to many pretty, traditional, Norfolk villages and diverse stunning scenery.
