Welcome to Oxwick

Oxwick is a small village located in the county of Norfolk, England. It is situated approximately 20 miles west of Norwich and 10 miles east of King's Lynn. The village is surrounded by beautiful countryside and is home to a number of historic buildings, including the 14th-century St. John the Baptist Church. The village also has a pub, The Crown Inn, which serves traditional English food and real ale.

The history of Oxwick can be traced back to the Domesday Book of 1086, where it is listed as "Oscuuic". The village was once a thriving agricultural community, with many of its residents working on the surrounding farms. Today, the village is much quieter, with a population of around 100 people. However, it still retains its rural charm and is a popular destination for walkers and cyclists.

One of the main attractions of Oxwick is its proximity to the beautiful North Norfolk coast. The village is just a short drive from the popular seaside towns of Wells-next-the-Sea and Hunstanton, which offer a range of activities and attractions for visitors. The area is also home to a number of nature reserves, including the RSPB Titchwell Marsh, which is a haven for birdwatchers. Overall, Oxwick is a peaceful and picturesque village that offers visitors a taste of rural Norfolk life.
