Wickmere

Blickling Hall and Estate in the snow during winter, Norfolk
Blickling Hall and Estate

Some might describe quiet, picturesque Wickmere as more of a hamlet rather than a village. Many of its few cottages were built to provide accommodation for workers on the nearby Wolterton Estate. Surrounded by calm country lanes which meander through the woods and farmland, Wickmere offers numerous diversions for holiday makers who like to see the countryside by cycle or on foot.

Blickling Hall and Estate is very close by, as are many popular restaurants and pubs such as The Walpole Arms, a British Pub and Spanish/Mediterranean tapas restaurant and The Bucks Arms, a traditional 17th century pub and former coaching inn located next to the Blickling Estate.

Wickmere isn’t far from the coast, with the seaside town of Cromer only 10 miles away. From Wickmere, in the heart of the idyllic Norfolk countryside, the whole of North Norfolk is accessible, including Sheringham and Blakeney.
