That side of Norfolk, where it borders with Cambridgeshire, is very flat and mostly fenland. Some people love it, I find it very bleak. The north Norfolk coast is the nicest bit, I am from there and we have a house there now. In land from there are also lots of pretty villages. Norwich is nice but I don't know the surrounding areas that well.

I used to live near there. Do you mean the village itself? In which case, not really. Its one long straight road, there us/was a small pub but a bit of a long walk from much of the village, and used to be quite rough . No shops.

It is very flat, fabulous sunsets, and wildlife (birds) not far from the coast.

Close to Wisbech, market town, no longer thriving i don't think. which has some beautiful houses (look at The Crescent, and North Brink) and has been used in quite a few period films.

There have been a lot of new houses built recently, mostly quite larger, filing the gaps along the long straight road. New village hall and park. The hall is very active and has a Facebook page.

Happy to answer specific questions.

We moved not far from there last year and really like it, although it isn't everyone's cup of tea.

If you have school age kids try getting them into schools on the Cambridgeshire side of the border as the overall provision is better supported
