Welcome to Waxham

Waxham is a small village located on the coast of Norfolk, England. It is known for its beautiful beach, which stretches for miles and is popular with both locals and tourists. The beach is backed by sand dunes and is a great place for walking, sunbathing, and swimming. The village itself is small and quiet, with a few shops and cafes, making it the perfect place for a peaceful getaway.

One of the main attractions in Waxham is the Waxham Barn, which is a Grade II listed building and dates back to the 16th century. The barn is now used as a venue for weddings and events, but it is also open to the public for tours. Visitors can learn about the history of the barn and its importance to the local community. The barn is surrounded by beautiful gardens, which are perfect for a picnic or a stroll.

Another popular attraction in Waxham is the Stalham Firehouse Museum, which is located in the nearby town of Stalham. The museum is housed in a former fire station and contains a collection of vintage fire engines and firefighting equipment. Visitors can learn about the history of firefighting in the area and see how technology has changed over the years. The museum is a great place for families and is sure to be a hit with children.

Local Dog Walks

Sea Palling Beach
During Our Recent Stay In Norfolk We Visited Several Beaches And Sea Palling Was By Far Our Favourite. There Are Date Restrictions In Place To The Left Of The Slipway As You Enter The Beach But We Were Ok In Oct. The Sand Is Golden And Expansive And You Can Walk For Miles If You Feel So Inclined. The Photos Attached Were Taken During Two Visits But You Can Get A Feel Of What It Was Like. Waxham Rd Norwich Lancashire NR12 0DX 0.36 miles

Location what3words contracts.equality.beams

Happisburgh Beach
Happpisburgh Beach Is A Great Location For Walking The Dog, Especially When The Tide Is Out! As With Most Beach Walks There Are Restrictions On The Time Of The Year When You Can Exercise Your Dog But We Went At The Beginning Of The Month And Had Free Rein! When The Tide Is Out There Is A Massive Expanse Of Beach Available To Use And Our Lab Coco Had A Great Time. 28 Beach Rd Happisburgh Norwich NR12 0PR 4.38 miles

Location what3words they.believer.overlaid

Bacton Woods
This Is A Pine Woodland Walk Just Outside Of North Walsham. Parking Is Free And There Are A Number Of Picnic Benches Around The Car Park. There Aren't Any Amenities But It Is A Popular Location For Dog Walkers, Cyclists And The Occasional Horse Rider. Thatched Cottage Church Ln Edingthorpe 8.44 miles

Location what3words exhale.consented.wiser

Mundesley Beach
Mundesley Is Another Great Beach For Walking Your Dog In Norfolk. Access Is Via Quite A Steep Pathway So Bear That In Mind.

A Truly Beautiful Place For A Dog Walk. There Are A Few Opened (Heath) Areas And A Lot Of Woods.

Plenty Of Car Park Around The Heath, All Free. 149 Mousehold Ave Norwich Lancashire NR3 4RX 15.84 miles Other Car Parks: There Is One (The Biggest Car Park) From Gilman Road (It'S A Quite Short Road) That Leads To The Heath. There Is A Car Park At Zak'S, Opposite Zaks And One Near &Quot;Pitch And Putt&Quot;.
