Located to the outskirts of Winfarthing, this well-established village is just 6 miles northwest of Diss, the village still retains a strong and active local community helped by having local amenities including schooling, a public house and fine church. A more extensive range of amenities and facilities can be found within the historic market town of Diss, set amid the beautiful Waveney Valley and with the benefit of a mainline railway station connecting to London Liverpool Street and Norwich.
