Anywhere in Norfolk not totally flat?!

We’re considering moving to Norfolk from near Ipswich. Mainly because housing is a bit cheaper, and we can afford a rural house, nice garden, village location etc for the same price as our 3 bed semi on a housing estate.

We’re considering most of Norfolk, apart from the North West area, just because of work. We’ve been up a few times, mainly to the beach for day trips.

Is there an area that anyone can recommend that isn’t COMPLETELY flat? I mean, we live in Suffolk, I’m not expecting hills 🤣😅 But somewhere that I can’t see the next house, 10 miles away across one huge flat field? Maybe an area with a little bit of rolling hills, variety of woods and fields etc. Just a nice looking area, with good variety for dog walks and being outside enjoying it all.

We’ve got a 14 month old so somewhere near villages with maybe toddler swim classes, baby groups etc would be great.

Thanks for any suggestions ☺️☺️

Parts of South Norfolk are gently undulating - check out the area between Norwich and Diss. Also the Waveney Valley is lovely. Both areas good for commuting to Ipswich. If you look on an OS map you will see the contour lines. Parts of North Norfolk are also lovely and hilly near the coast. Also Norwich itself is hilly.

West Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and Lincolnshire are the flattest.

Prepare yourself for unimpressive hills though. When I lived in Norfolk everyone went to Devon on holiday - for obvious reasons!

Wroxham ?

Wroxham is my favourite on the broads. X

West Norfolk, east of King's Lynn is quite hilly (Dersingham, the Massinghams, Great Bircham, Castle Acre.

Look at this website to hills in Norfolk

The North Norfolk coast isn’t flat. It doesn’t have mountains but it definitely isn’t flat.

Sheringham and Cromer have a train to Norwich.
