Located just outside the village of Hockwold cum Wilton, Bluebell Cottage is in a secluded location, yet within an hour's drive of Norwich, Bury St Edmunds, Cambridge and little over an hour to many of the North Norfolk coastal resorts. The cottage includes 2 bedrooms and an open-plan living area, and is ideal for families.Cot and highchair available The local area includes the beautiful Thetford Forest, with many options for walkers and cyclists, and several important bird-watching reserves are also a short drive away.
My family have lived in Norfolk for 12 years, and this area is in a great location, within driving distance of some lovely places to visit. I love to run, and have a huge pick of trails in Thetford Forest, of varying lengths and distances. You might also come across a few unexpected hills!
Hockwold is in the heart of The Brecks, a landscape of tranquil forest, open heathland and agricultural land, where human inhabitation can be traced back to Neolithic man at the nearby flint mines of Grimes Graves. The nearby Thetford Forest is the largest lowland pine forest in Britain, and has miles of marked walking and cycling routes. The shopping towns of Kings Lynn and Bury St Edmunds are about 40 minutes drive away, and include many boutique style shops along with familiar High Street names. Norwich and Cambridge are both an hour away, and provide great shopping facilities as well as historical landmarks. The closest beach is 45 minutes away, and most of the North Norfolk resorts are little more than an hour away.
