Places to see in ( Dereham - UK )
Dereham, also known as East Dereham, is a town and civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. It is situated on the A47 road, about 15 miles west of the city of Norwich and 25 miles east of King's Lynn.
For the purposes of local government, Dereham falls within, and is the centre of administration for, the district of Breckland. The town Dereham should not be confused with the Norfolk village of West Dereham, which lies about 25 miles (40 km) away.
The railway arrived in Dereham when a single track line to Wymondham opened in 1847. In 1848 a second line, to King's Lynn was opened. In 1849 a line from Dereham to Fakenham was opened, this line being extended to the coastal town of Wells-On-Sea by 1857. In 1862 the town's railways became part of the Great Eastern Railway. The town had its own railway depot and a large complex of sidings, serving local industry. In 1882 the line between Dereham and Wymondham was doubled, to allow for the increasing levels of traffic.
The railway between Dereham and Wymondham has been preserved, and is now operated as a tourist line by the Mid-Norfolk Railway Preservation Trust. This charitable company also owns the line north towards County School railway station, it has started to gradually reopen the line towards North Elmham and aims to eventually relay the line to Fakenham.
The town of Dereham lies on the site of a monastery founded by Saint Withburga in the seventh century. A holy well at the western end of St Nicholas' Church supposedly began to flow when her body was stolen from the town by monks from Ely, who took the remains back to their town. Notable buildings in the town include the pargetted Bishop Bonner's Cottage, built in 1502, the Norman parish church, a windmill which was extensively renovated in 2013 and a large mushroom-shaped water tower. The Gressenhall Museum of Rural Life is nearby. The town also hosts the headquarters of the Mid-Norfolk Railway, which runs trains over an 11.5-mile railway south to Wymondham, as well as owning the line 6 miles north to North Elmham and County School Station.

Places to see in ( Wells next the Sea - UK )
Wells-next-the-Sea is a port on the North Norfolk coast of England. The civil parish has an area of 16.31 km². Wells next the Sea is 15 miles (24 km) to the east of the resort of Hunstanton, 20 miles (32 km) to the west of Cromer, and 10 miles (16 km) north of Fakenham. The city of Norwich lies 32 miles (51 km) to the south-east. Nearby villages include Blakeney, Burnham Market, Burnham Thorpe, Holkham and Walsingham.
Wells next the Sea has long thrived as a seaport and is now also a seaside resort with a popular beach that can be reached on foot or by a narrow gauge railway that runs partway alongside the mile-long sea wall north of the harbour. The beach is known for its long flat terrain, abstract sand dunes, varied unique beach huts and a naturist area situated to the west at Holkham. A land-locked brackish pool called Abraham's Bosom is used for pleasure boating and canoeing. The beach is backed by dense pine woods which are part of the Holkham National Nature Reserve.
Wells next the Sea stretches nearly a mile inland. The majority of shops and other such businesses are now found on Staithe Street but up to the 1960s commercial premises were also to be found along High Street which continues south towards St Nicholas's Church.
A feature of Wells next the Sea is the area known as The Buttlands, a large green ringed by lime trees. Large elegant Georgian houses overlook The Buttlands, as do the Crown Hotel, Globe Inn and the Wells Catholic Church. If you exit The Buttlands down the hill at its south-west corner you can see Ware Hall, which was rebuilt over a period of years from the 1970s by Miss May Savidge, who brought it in parts when she moved from Ware in Hertfordshire.
Formerly the town was served by Wells-on-Sea railway station and was connected to the British Rail network by two lines. The line westwards towards King's Lynn was never reinstated after damage in the 1953 East Coast Floods, while the line to Norwich via Fakenham, Dereham and Wymondham was a victim of the Beeching Axe of the 1960s.

LOW COST CAMPSITES - UK Camping's best kept secrets
The UK has over three thousand Certificated camp sites which are available to members of the Caravan and Motorhome club or the Camping and Caravanning club. Non club members often have never heard of them, and a surprising number of members have never tried them. They almost always lower cost per night than the either the main club or commercial sites. Some are very basic offering a taste of more traditional camping, but others offer facilities rivalling those on offer from the larger sites.
In this video I explain what certificated sites are, what they are like, how to book them and how much you can expect to pay.

Wymondham, Norfolk
SEE MY TRAVEL PAGE ON FACEBOOK :
A visit to the beautiful market town of Wymondham in Norfolk on a wonderfully sunny day in early March 2011.
Wymondham's most famous inhabitant was Robert Kett (or Ket), who led a rebellion in 1549 of peasants and small farmers in protest at the enclosure of common land. He took a force of almost unarmed men and fought for and held the City of Norwich for six weeks until defeated by the King's forces. He was hanged from Norwich Castle. Kett's Oak, said to be the rallying point for the rebellion, can still be seen today on the B1172 road between Wymondham and Hetherset, part of the former main road to London.
I make references to fires in all of my walks around medieval towns as they date from the time of the last great fire. The Great Fire of Wymondham broke out on Sunday 11 June 1615. Two areas of the town were affected, implying there were two separate fires. One area was in Vicar Street and Middleton Street and the other in the Market Place, including Bridewell Street and Fairland Street. About 300 properties were destroyed in the fire. Important buildings destroyed included: the Market Cross, dating from 1286; the vicarage in Vicar Street; the 'Town Hall' on the corner of Middleton Street and Vicar Street; and the schoolhouse. However, many buildings such as the Green Dragon pub did survive and many of the houses in Damgate Street date back to 1400, although this is now masked by later brickwork.
The fire was started by three Gypsies - William Flodder, John Flodder and Ellen Pendleton (Flodder) - and a local person, Margaret Bix (Elvyn). The register of St Andrew's Church in Norwich records that John Flodder and others were executed on 2 December 1615 for the burning of Wymondham. Rebuilding of the destroyed buildings was quick in some cases and slower in others. A new Market Cross, the one we see today, was started and completed in 1617. However, by 1621 there were still about 15 properties not yet rebuilt. Economic conditions in the 1620s could have been a contributory factor to the delay in rebuilding.
Kett's Rebellion was evidence of an undercurrent of ferment in 16th-century Wymondham. Comparable discontent showed itself in the 17th century when a number of Wymondham citizens, including Thomas Lincoln, John Beal and others, moved to Hingham, Norfolk in the wave of religious dissent that swept England in the years preceding Cromwell's Commonwealth.
In 1785, a prison was built using the ideas of John Howard, the prison reformer. It was the first prison to be built in this country with separate cells for the prisoners and was widely copied both in the United Kingdom and the United States of America.
The collapse of the woollen industry in the mid-19th century led to great poverty in Wymondham. In 1836 there were 600 hand looms, but by 1845 only 60 existed. During Victorian times the town was a backwater and never experienced large-scale development. The town centre remains very much as it must have been in the mid-17th century, when the houses were rebuilt after the Great Fire. These newer houses, and those which survived the Great Fire, still surround shoppers and visitors as they pass through Wymondham's narrow mediaeval streets.
Wymondham in the Second World War was home to one of MI6's Radio Security Service direction finding stations; the type at Wymondham was a Spaced Loop design newly developed by the National Physical Laboratory. Unfortunately, this was soon found to be unsatisfactory and was converted to the more traditional Adcock type.. The station at Wymondham was located at latitude=52.583333, longitude=1.121667, just north of Tuttles Lane and east of Melton Road. Based on information from one of the WW2 operators it transpires that another spaced loop station was later installed alongside the first in 1944 after the Normandy invasion. This may have been due to increased interest in transmissions from western Europe where the shorter distance made the spaced loop more reliable.
As you can see in this film, in the town centre, there is a market cross, which is now used as a Tourist Information Centre and is owned by the Town Council. The original building was destroyed in the Great Fire of Wymondham in 1615; the present building was rebuilt between 1617-18 at a cost of £25-7-0d with funds loaned by local man, Philip Cullyer. The stilted building was like many others designed to protect valuable documents from both flood and vermin. According to T.F. Thistleton Dyer's English Folklore [London, 1878], live rats were nailed by their tails to the side of the building by way of a deterrent. This bizarre superstition ended in 1902 after a child was bitten, later to die of blood-poisoning.
Wymondham Abbey is the Church of England parish church.

Thetford Walk: Town Centre【4K】
Located in the East Anglian county of Norfolk, and roughly equidistant between Cambridge and Norwich, is the town of Thetford.
In Saxon times Thetford was the capital of East Anglia. It had its own mint in the 10th century, and by 1086 the Domesday Survey recorded it as being the sixth largest town in the country with 4,000 to 4,500 people living here.
By the 12th century Thetford had become an important religious centre, with 22 churches around the town, as well as Thetford Priory, founded in 1103. The priory was left to ruin in the 16th century along with the town's religious houses when Henry VIII ordered the Dissolution of the Monasteries. This brought about a decline in the area. However, in the 1570s Thetford received a boost when Elizabeth I granted a town charter leading to redevelopment in the main streets.
In 1819 plans were made to turn Thetford into a spa town for tourists, similar to Bath Cheltenham, Leamington and Harrogate. The meadows between the rivers Thet and Little Ouse contained a spring of mineral rich water. A pump room was constructed, but later closed in 1838.
In 1848 Thetford became a producer of steam engines courtesy of Charles Burrell & Sons Ltd who were based in the town. At its height the factory employed over 350 people, with workers moving in from London, the Midlands and Yorkshire until its closure in 1928.
After the Second World War Thetford became an overspill town, providing housing for those from the cities whose homes had been destroyed in the Blitz, leading to a surge in population during the second half of the 20th century.
During the walk we see two statues. The first appears at the very beginning and is of Duleep Singh, the last Maharaja of the Sikh Empire. He was exiled to Great Britain aged 15 following on from the Anglo Sikh Wars. There he befriended Queen Victoria and bought a country estate close to Thetford in 1863.
The second statue is of Thomas Paine. Born in Thetford, Paine was a political writer who travelled to Philadelpia in 1774 with a letter of introduction from Benjamin Franklin. In 1776 he wrote a pamphlet arguing the case for American independence, predating the Declaration of Independence itself. Later on, Paine travelled to France where he advocated for the French Revolution. He is also believed to have met Napoleon Bonaparte in the late 1790s to discuss a potential invasion of England. So basically turning up everywhere of historical significance, like an 18th century Forrest Gump. Napoleon allegedly stated that a statue of gold should be erected to [Thomas Paine] in every city in the universe. The statue we see is made of bronze and dates back to 1964 where it was initially gilded. Having lost its golden appearance, it was then re-gilded in November of 2020, making it quite hard to miss!

Places to see in ( Brandon - UK )
Brandon is a small town and civil parish in the English county of Suffolk. It is in the Forest Heath local government district. Brandon is located in the Breckland area on the border of Suffolk with the adjoining county of Norfolk. Surrounded by Forestry Commission and agricultural land it is considered a rural town.
According to Eilert Ekwall (The Concise Oxford Dictionary of English Place Names) the likely origin of the name is Brandon, usually 'hill where broom grows', the earliest known spelling being in the 11th century when the town, gradually expanding up and along the rising ground of the river valley, was called Bromdun.
From prehistoric times the area was mined for flint as can be seen at Grimes Graves, a popular Brandon tourist destination. Much more recently, the town was a major centre for the production of gunflints. The Domesday Book records that the manor of Brandon in 1086 had 25 households. In medieval times and beyond Brandon was renowned for its rabbit fur.
The town's current population is recorded as 9,636 people in the 2011 UK Census. Brandon has three schools; two primary, Forest Academy and Glade Primary School; and one High School, IES Breckland. Brandon's population has steadily increased since the Second World War due to immigration. After the war there was an influx of servicemen from Poland who settled in the town and also in nearby Weeting, Norfolk. The Cold War saw many American service people and their families billeted in and around the town. The Greater London Council oversaw the building of a large Council estate off Thetford Road and Bury Road in the 1970s and many London families were relocated to Brandon during that time.
Brandon is situated on the A1065 Mildenhall to Fakenham road. It often suffers severe congestion due to large amounts of commuter traffic, holiday traffic travelling to the Norfolk Coast and HGVs. Several bus routes and National Express coach services pass through the town as well. Brandon railway station has an hourly service to Cambridge and Ely to the West and to Thetford and Norwich in the East.
Regular bus services operate from Brandon to the neighbouring towns of Bury St. Edmunds, Mildenhall and Thetford. There are also infrequent services (at school and shopping times) to Downham Market, King's Lynn and Norwich. Flowing in an easterly direction the Little Ouse river is navigable through the town.
