West rudham West Rudham is a small village on the A148 between the market town of Fakenham and King’s Lynn.
The village has a junior school and The Dukes Head pub serving traditional ales alongside Cantonese cuisine.
West Rudham is well located for the North Norfolk Coast with its miles of unspoilt coastline. There are good secondary schools at Fakenham and King’s Lynn.
The North Norfolk coast is a short drive away. Coast or country? If your heart is set on the gentle bustle of a market town, but within easy reach of the sea, Fakenham is top of the list.
While sandy beaches are just ten miles away, the market town is perfectly positioned halfway between King’s Lynn and Norwich with easy reach to Holt and Swaffham, making for an easy commute.
Out of working hours, there’s plenty to keep you entertained including the thriving independent Central Cinema, a perennial favourite with locals.
Enjoy a fun glass-blowing session with the kids at Langham Glass, reconnect with nature at Pensthorpe or blow the cobwebs with a walk at nearby Sculthorpe Moor.
For something fancier, dress up to the nines and enjoy a day out and a flutter at Fakenham Racecourse, or team up with your playing pals for a round at Fakenham Golf Club, set in and around the racecourse.
And Thursford is just four miles away with its magnificent collection of steam engines and organs – a visit to its Christmas spectacular gives a West End theatre excursion a run for its money.
