New Buckenham
New Buckenham is conveniently situated within easy access of Norwich, Thetford, Attleborough, Diss, Wymondham, Snetterton, The Broads and much of the Norfolk and Suffolk Coast.

It does, however, have an old world charm of its own - like taking a step back in time. Apart from the ruins of the Castle (built c1146) and the Market Cross still standing intact upon its nine wooden Tuscan columns, tightly knit streets are lined from end to end with many romantic looking houses dating between the 15th and 17th centuries.

We also have a Village store and Post Office, a butcher shop, pine/interior design shop, and two pubs, both of which serve food.

Things to do from Pump Court

This part of Norfolk is known for its large skies, its beautiful heathlands and forests where you can enjoy walking, cycling, horse riding and peace and quiet. We are centrally located for all of East Anglia. The North Norfolk Coast and the East Suffolk Heritage Coastline can be reached in about one hour. Norwich, Cambridge, Newmarket, Ely and Bury St Edmunds are all easily accessible.
