Places to see in ( Aylsham - UK )
Aylsham is a historic market town and civil parish on the River Bure in north Norfolk, England, nearly 9 mi north of Norwich. The river rises near Melton Constable, 11 miles (18 km) upstream from Aylsham and continues to Great Yarmouth and the North Sea, although it was only made navigable after 1779, allowing grain, coal and timber to be brought up river.
The town is close to large estates and grand country houses at Blickling, Felbrigg, Mannington and Wolterton, which are important tourist attractions. The civil parish has an area of 4,329 acres (17.52 square km) and in the 2001 census had a population of 5,504 in 2448 households, reducing to a population of 3,999 in 1,591 households at the 2011 Census. For the purposes of local government, the parish falls within the district of Broadland.
Archaeological evidence shows that the site of the town has been occupied since prehistoric times. Aylsham is just over two miles (3 km) from a substantial Roman settlement at Brampton, linked to Venta Icenorum at Caistor St Edmund, south of Norwich, by a Roman road which can still be traced in places - that site was a bustling industrial centre with maritime links to the rest of the empire. Excavations in the 1970s provided evidence of several kilns, showing that this was an industrial centre, pottery and metal items being the main items manufactured.
Aylsham is thought to have been founded around 500 AD by an Anglo Saxon thegn called Aegel, Aegel's Ham, meaning Aegel's settlement. The town is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Elesham and Ailesham, with a population of about 1,000. Until the 15th century, the linen and worsted industry was important here, as well as in North Walsham and Worstead and Aylsham webb or 'cloth of Aylsham' was supplied to the royal palaces of Edward II and III.
The ancient but natural transport route for Aylsham would have been the River Bure, but it was not open to substantial navigation. There was a scheme in the 18th century to widen the navigation from Coltishall to Aylsham and, after many difficulties, trading wherries from Great Yarmouth were able to reach a staithe at Aylsham. The final end for this scheme was the devastating flood of 1912.
Road transport for Aylsham was very important. It was the principal coaching point on the Norwich-Cromer road, and the meeting point for other roads. Each day the coaches from Cromer and Holt would draw up at the Black Boys, the main inn in Aylsham market place. Coaching ended with the coming of the railways in the 1880s. There were many different plans for railways, but eventually two lines served Aylsham, with the town having both North and South stations until the 1950s.
Aylsham once had two railway stations, both now closed, Aylsham South railway station on the Great Eastern line between County School railway station (near North Elmham) and Wroxham and the other Aylsham North railway station on the M&GNJR line from Melton Constable to Yarmouth.
Aylsham is also the terminus for the Bure Valley Railway (on the site of Aylsham South railway station), the Bure Valley Path and the Marriott's Way long distance footpath. Blickling Hall, the great country house in the care of the National Trust, is a mile and a half (2 km) away. With its dramatic symmetrical front, flanked by two great yew hedges, it is a fine example of a Jacobean brick-built manor house, and was formerly the home of the young Anne Boleyn, later to become Henry VIII's second wife.
Aylsham was once noted for its spa, situated about half a mile south of the town, comprising a chalybeate spring, formerly used by those suffering from asthma and other chronic conditions. The Tourist Information Centre office is located adjacent to the Bure Valley Railway station. Local entertainment in the town includes concerts by the Aylsham Band, which plays at venues in and around Aylsham; the Aylsham Players who host one or two productions a year; and Aylsham High School, which presents an annual school musical.

Norfolk Unveiled: Cromer to Aylsham on the Weavers' Way
Step into Norfolk's tranquillity from its inspiring seacoast and enchanting countryside as we embark on a captivating journey along the Weavers' Way. Stretching over 60 miles, this long distance path runs from Cromer Pier down to the beach at classic seaside resort Great Yarmouth. In this first leg we explore the natural splendour along the route from Cromer to Aylsham. This scenic walk is not just a trek; it's a symphony of rustling autumnal leaves, echoing birdcalls, and the soothing rhythm of footsteps along earthy and leaf-strewn paths. We go from the breathtaking coastal views in Cromer along tracks, through fields, abandoned railway lines and along charming backroads to reach our destination. We pass alongside historic stately homes, country manors and ancient churches which frequently dot the Norfolk landscape.
Every step along the Weavers' Way is an invitation to uncover the beauty of Norfolk's diverse landscapes, framed in the late November sunshine. Whether you're a seasoned walker seeking a new adventure or a nature lover yearning for the serene embrace of rural England, the Weavers' Way promises an unforgettable exploration into the heart of this picturesque corner of the country. So, lace up your walking boots, breathe in the fresh Norfolk air, and let the Llama’s Paws lead you on a journey of discovery along one of England's hidden gem of a route.

A Totally Deserted City! Norwich in the first lockdown, UK 2020
Come with us as we explore the stark, peaceful beauty of our home city, deserted as the full lockdown in the UK takes hold. We may never see the city like this again, so over five days, with nothing but the government recommended hours outdoor exercise, my bike, an Osmo Pocket and my Sony A7Riii, I pedalled over 50kms in total to capture the eerie wonder of a deserted city. It was a labour of true love for my home and despite the raw beauty we see, we pray once it's all over, it never happens again. Enjoy.

Walk along the Wensum in Norwich part 1 of 4
SEE MY SITE ON FACEBOOK :
Here we can see a film of a walk along the Wensum river in Norwich.
Norwich was founded probably as it marked the furthest place upstream where the Wensum could be navigated by sea going vessels as they then were. In Norwich, the Wensum is not a wide river but in historic times the river was much wider and possibly deeper. Today the river offers a pleasant backdrop to walks through the centre of the historic city.
I show the point where the Norwich City station once stood which was badly damaged in air raids on 27 and 29 April 1942. Behind it, you can take an interesting walk along the former railway line as far as Aylsham.
