Erpingham is a charming, rural village tucked away in north Norfolk, just a few miles from the coast and its sandy beaches with a local pub in the village, the Spread Eagle. A good farmers market can be found at nearby Aylsham twice a week and this lovely Georgian town also hosts two good supermarkets, a bakery and a butcher.  Aylsham is also the starting point of the Bure Valley Railway, which is a small gauge steam railway that runs into the heart of The Broads National Park at Wroxham, where you can explore over 125 miles of waterways via guided tours, by hiring a boat or walking the nature trails.  The National Trust has two historic houses in the area, Blickling Hall and Felbrigg Hall and Sheringham Park is a joy to walk in, no more so than in early May when the rhododendrons and azaleas are at their best.  The coast has some lovely, sandy beaches to explore. Go north to Cromer with its iconic Pier that has year-round shows, or travel east to Mundesley, which is notable for the smallest RNLI museum in the country.  A day out in Norwich is easily done, visit the Cathedrals - there are two, taste Norfolk’s foodie culture at some great restaurants, visit the Castle and its dungeons, or take a stroll alongside the River Wensum, which runs through the city centre.
