Welcome to Spa Common

Spa Common is a beautiful and serene location situated in the heart of Norfolk. The common is a vast expanse of greenery that is perfect for a relaxing stroll or a picnic with family and friends. The area is surrounded by trees and is home to a variety of wildlife, making it an ideal spot for nature lovers. The common is also a popular destination for dog walkers, with plenty of space for pets to run around and play.

The history of Spa Common dates back to the 18th century when it was used as a spa resort. The area was known for its natural springs, which were believed to have healing properties. Visitors would come from far and wide to bathe in the waters and enjoy the tranquil surroundings. Today, the springs are no longer in use, but the common remains a popular destination for those seeking peace and relaxation.

Spa Common is also home to a number of events throughout the year, including the annual Norfolk Show. The show is a celebration of all things Norfolk, with local food, drink, and crafts on display. The common is transformed into a bustling hub of activity, with thousands of visitors flocking to the area to enjoy the festivities. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or a fun day out, Spa Common is the perfect destination.
