North Norfolk
North Norfolk at most times can be described as; wide blue skies, narrow winding country lanes with delights round every bend. Hedgerows with tall Cow Parsley and, nearer the sea, green Alexanders dominant. It has a remoteness that adds to its charm. It is not somewhere you pass through en route. You enter North Norfolk only when it is your destination. The town of Fakenham at the heart of North Norfolk, still has a good mix of supermarkets and small local shops. Its regular Thursday street market and auction remains to this day the focal point of local county life. There are more tourist orientated locations in the region, but few can compete with bustle and charm of Fakenham on market day. The massive west tower (c.1450) of the parish church, St. Peter and St. Paul, rises above the surrounding buildings and can be seen from just about anywhere in the town and the nearby countryside. Fakenham has some fine buildings in the Market Place and a number of pretty small lanes and courts. Throughout the old town are various handsome 18th and 19th century buildings. Fakenham is where Pure Lettings North Norfolk Ltd are based as it is central to the area and is easily accessible. For the visitor who enters North Norfolk from the west and north, via King's Lynn, they can drive along the picturesque A149 coast road. They leave behind the Wash at Hunstanton and encounter, one after another, the small villages so typical of the county, each with its own mediaeval flint church. There are many hideaways of a much loved region of rural England in North Norfolk. This is, perhaps, the one corner of the English countryside least affected by the ever growing 'urban sprawl' and the spreading tentacles of the motorway system! A splendid place to live and work, to enjoy life in pleasant surroundings, and become part of a great farming and rural heritage.
