Location
At the heart of Saxlingham Nethergate is a historic war memorial set upon the village green, surrounded by an attractive collection of thatched cottages and listed buildings that create a quintessential Norfolk village atmosphere. The village benefits from a primary school, together with thriving cricket and bowls clubs. Two neighbouring villages offer further amenities, in Hempnall there`s another primary school, cafe and Morrisons local and the pretty village of Shotesham has a wonderful pub (The Globe) offering great beer and food especially the Sunday Roast not to be missed. The Boudicca Way, named after the famous Iceni warrior queen, runs through the village and offers a 36 mile walking route through the beautiful south Norfolk countryside, connecting Norwich with Diss. Situated approximately nine miles south of Norwich, Saxlingham Nethergate is ideally located for commuters, providing convenient access to the city as well as routes south towards Cambridge and London. The historic city of Norwich offers all the amenities and attractions expected of a thriving regional capital. Its remarkably preserved medieval streets provide a home to independent businesses, an excellent choice of restaurants and cafes, and a well established arts and cultural scene. One of the city`s most charming areas is Elm Hill, where cobbled streets and beautifully preserved Tudor architecture create an appealing atmosphere throughout the year. Lined with historic merchant houses, period properties, individual homes, specialist shops and intimate cafes, the street leads towards the magnificent Norwich Cathedral, which dates back over 900 years and remains one of the city`s most celebrated landmarks.
