📍Talk of the town… Join Rachel Bowles for a day in North Walsham, following in some famous footsteps
☕️Start your day @shamblescafenorfolk, its 17th century building full of character. The menu features brunch favourites including full English, shakshuka, a good range of vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free alternatives, fresh pastries and locally roasted coffee.
👣Take a stroll along the North Walsham and Dilham Canal. Opened in 1826, it’s Norfolk’s only locked sailing canal. Once busy with wherries, its flat towpath is easy walking. Detour into Pigneys Wood, with its meandering paths and 450-year-old oak tree.
📍Step inside St Nicholas’, Norfolk’s largest wool church, its tower said to have been the second tallest in the county until partially collapsing in 1724. Nearby, a plaque @pastoncollege honours Admiral Lord Nelson, who studied here from 1768 to 1771.
👑Wander through the Thursday Market, dating back to 1275, when the town was granted the right to hold a weekly market by Royal Charter. Stalls fill the Market Place with its early 17th century Market Cross, which replaced an earlier building destroyed by the Great Fire of North Walsham in 1600.
🐑 Discover more of the town’s story at the Heritage Centre, a fascinating museum run by volunteers, tracing North Walsham’s medieval wool trade, role in the 1381 Peasants’ Revolt and rise as a busy market hub.
🏅Stay active @ea_victoryswimandfitness, with its spacious pool, fully equipped gym and studio hosting a wide range of classes. North Walsham also celebrates sporting success as the hometown of England women’s footballer Lauren Hemp.
🏍️ Detour to the Norfolk Motorcycle Museum. Run by passionate volunteers, it offers an intimate look at British motorcycling history, with well-preserved machines and fascinating stories behind the makers.
🎭 Catch a show @blackswanpubtheatre, a friendly community pub and theatre venue, with a calendar of live performances, from comedy nights and music gigs to plays.
📚End your day at the award-winning @beechwoodhotel_northwalsham, with its Agatha Christie memorabilia. The crime writer stayedhere in the 1930s, when it was a private house.

As we mark Remembrance Sunday today, the Lifeboat

As we mark Remembrance Sunday today, the Lifeboat Horse at Wells-next-the-Sea is adorned with woollen poppies representing the 109 names on the town’s war memorial. Standing on the pontoons, it’s an incredibly moving sight, and causes pause for reflection, whether you spot it on a bright, busy day or illuminated in the still of a November evening.

🍴NNL writer Sarah Hardy tried out the new cafe

🍴NNL writer Sarah Hardy tried out the new cafe at Algy’s Farm Shop at Bintree, calling in for a Veggie Full English while her better half had the Turkish Eggs. 🍴It’s a great addition to the well stocked farm shop and serves several all day brunch options, a couple of lunch specials and also has a crammed cake counter. There is a children’s menu and dogs are allowed, too. It’s all very laid back, the staff are friendly and the fresh flowers on each table were a nice touch. Well done all. 🎃The farm is also well known for its pumpkin patch where you can pick your own pumpkins (until 31 October), there’s a spooky trail to follow plus lots and lots of pumpkins for sale. Don’t forget to check out the farm shop, especially the farm’s own, homemade popcorn. @algysfarmshop #pumpkins #pumpkinpatch #pumpkinpicking #autumn #harvest #farmshop #farmshopcafe #fullenglish #brunch #dogfriendly #eatingout #visitnorfolk #lovenorfolk #autumn2025 #shoplocal
