Neighbourhood

Hellesdon is an easy-going suburb on the edge of Norwich, with the everyday things all close to hand. McDonald's about three minutes on foot, and a big Asda for the weekly shop around ten minutes' walk or few minute drive. The Whiffler, the local Wetherspoon, sits on the corner of the road 1 minute away and Highball Climbing Centre is a nine-minute walk if you fancy something more active. There is a Costa around thirteen minutes away on foot too. When you want to head further out, Norwich city centre is about twenty minutes by car, with its Norman cathedral, cobbled Lanes and good independent food scene. Wroxham, roughly nineteen minutes' drive, is the spot for boat trips and riverside pubs on the Broads. Blickling Hall and its grand National Trust grounds are around twenty-five minutes away, and Cromer, a lovely run out for fish and chips by the sea, is about thirty-eight minutes by car.
