GUNTHORPE Gunthorpe is tucked away between Fakenham and the North Norfolk coast, close to Thursford.
Thursford has a church, a public house, garage and Thai restaurant. It‘s also the home to the famous Thursford Collection of steam engines, old funfair rides and organs. A visit to its Christmas spectacular gives a West End theatre excursion a run for its money.
Fakenham is a short drive away and it has a cinema and supermarkets, a busy Thursday street market and a monthly Farmers Market. The Georgian market town of Holt is only eight miles away with a wide range of shops, boutiques and eateries, amenities and Gresham‘s School. The North Norfolk Coast with its long sandy beaches and salt marshes are also nearby.
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.
