Great Snoring is an unspoilt and peaceful Conservation village, with the River Stiffkey flowing around the outskirts. The medieval village of Walsingham with shops and pubs is 2 miles away, if you fancy walking there you can take the scenic bridal path! Fresh eggs can be purchased from the farm in the centre of the village (as featured on BBC2's "Great British Menu" programme) and you’ll find more facilities for shopping in Fakenham, 4 miles away. Sculthorpe, is a friendly Norfolk village, a couple of miles south west of Great Snoring. We have two nice pubs in Sculthorpe, one within walking distance, the other a 5 minute car trip away, both serving good food! Fakenham is a just over a mile away and the coast just 8 miles.
