Situated on the babbling River Wensum, this is
an interesting market town with a 15th
century church and a number of notable
Georgian buildings.
Nearby is Pensthorpe Waterfowl Park - one of
largest of its kind in the world with over 200
acres of woodland, meadows and waterside
walks. A few miles south stands Raynham Hall,
former home in the 18th
century of Viscount Townshend who invented a
unique style of crop rotation, earning him the
nickname Turnip Townshend. Meanwhile, East
Barsham Manor is a sumptuous, red-bricked
Tudor mansion that was once home of the Bee
Gees house. |
