It lies about 11 miles west of Norwich and about 3 miles from Wymondham , the largest market town in South Nofolk, on the A11 London to Norwich road.
The village is mainly rural residential, but does contain many small businesses. These range from Wicklewood Stores and Post Office run by Colin and Brenda, through builders, farms and R G Goodings garage, to the Cherry Tree public house, where the owners are Buffy's Brewery. You can stay in the village in excellent B&B accommodation at the Old Windmill Bed and Breakfast

The brick tower has 5 storeys and a boat shaped top. Public access is only by appointment. Contact Wymondham Tourist Information Centre for more information on the Windmill Tel: +44 (0)1953 604721

To keep the locals informed the village has a parish magazine called "The Net", although the similarity of it's name with what you are doing now is only coincidence. You can now read the magazine on "the web" by clicking here.
