Southburgh
The Breckland village of Southburgh is located 15 miles south west of the city of Norwich and is close to the villages of Reymerston, Hingham and Shipdham. Southburgh church, St Andrew, has a distinctive tower and spire that stands proud above the trees and is a welcoming church, open for worship. It should be noted that there are superb off road horse riding facilities in the area.
Norwich, located 15 miles from Southburgh, is an ancient city steeped in a millennium of history. It has long been a haven for writers, radicals, and independent thinkers, fostering a rich culture and creative spirit. Its meticulously preserved medieval streets host a thriving community of small businesses, a dynamic culinary scene, and a vibrant arts culture. As a gateway to a county renowned for its pristine landscapes, expansive skies, and untouched vistas, Norwich continues to inspire.
The nearby village of Shipdham has a thriving community with a gp surgery, Post Office, nursery and primary school, shops and local pub making it a fantastic village for all ages. Along with a clutch of beautiful period properties, Shipdham has grown in recent years with the development of several quality new-build developments which have been sympathetically incorporated within their rural setting.
