Sandringham House

Sandringham House is just a mile up the road from Dersingham, overlooking the village. Sandringham is the much-loved country retreat of Her Majesty the Queen, and has been the private home of four generations of British monarchs. The house is perhaps the most famous stately home in Norfolk - and certainly one of the most beautiful.

A tour of the house together with its gardens, museum, country park and visitor centre makes an excellent day out.

Hunstanton Hunstanton is East Anglia's only West facing resort and offers clean, safe, sandy beaches, funfair and amusements, multi-coloured cliffs topped with gardens - and in the evening, stunning sunsets over the Wash.

The Customs House at King's Lynn

King's Lynn, 8 miles south of Dersingham, is an interesting town with a wealth of old buildings and museums. There are medieval streets running down to the riverside, two market places, shops and ample parking. The Custom House has overseen the comings and goings of this busy port for over 300 years. You can also visit the 17th century Old Gaol House and 15th century Trinity Guildhall where the Royal Charters dating from King John in 1204 are on display.

Other nearby attractions include Castle Rising with its Norman castle, alms houses, church and the West Norfolk Arts Centre, Heacham, home of Pocahontas and Norfolk Lavender and Burnham Market, a fine Georgian village with many interesting shops and nearby 'Nelson' connections.

For the keen birdwatcher Dersingham is just 2 miles from the RSPB reserve at Snettisham with several hides overlooking key birdwatching areas. Titchwell and Holme reserves are a short drive away. For walkers, we are well placed for the Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path, Nar Valley Way and Peter Scott Path. The Sandringham Country Park also has several walking trails.
