About South Walsham
South Walsham has a quiet, traditional character with two medieval churches sharing the same churchyard — an unusual feature. South Walsham Broad is a shallow lake popular for canoeing and nature watching. Fairhaven Woodland and Water Garden is a 130-acre nature attraction with woodland walks, a private broad, and seasonal boat trips. The village sits on quiet lanes between the A47 and the northern Broads.
Things to Do
