Knapton
In and around the area
Located in unspoilt, picturesque, tranquil countryside close to the North Norfolk coast, Knapton is a small village, around 3 miles from the market town of North Walsham and close to the coastal village of Mundesley, with Cromer to the north.
The area is a fantastic place for walking and cycling, both in the surrounding countryside and coast. The Paston Way footpath follows from Cromer to North Walsham. Nearby Pigneys Wood, a local nature reserve about a mile south of the village is a great place to visit. From here the historic disused North Walsham and Dilham Canal can be explored by foot, as well as the nearby villages of Trunch and Swafield, a short distance away.
Things to do
Nearby Mundesley also has a range of shops and places to eat, with a beautiful long, sandy blue flag beach, and a Golf Club, as well as Gold Park, which has an outdoor gym, adventure golf and facilities for all the family.
North Walsham has a range of supermarkets, shops and facilities, and there is a market day every Thursday, and a Farmers Market on the 2nd and 5th Saturday of the month. There is also a leisure centre, cinema and theatre.
The nearest railway station is at North Walsham, which provides a regular service via the Bittern Line to Norwich, Cromer and Sheringham, and a bus service links to North Walsham and Norwich.
