FAKENHAM

.Fakenham has been voted the 7th best place to live in Britain by Country Life magazine. It's a market town in central Norfolk - halfway between King's Lynn and Norwich. It has a Thursday market that dates back to 1250 and a Farmers' Market on the fourth Saturday of each month with organic produce grown locally with real mud on it! There is a Tesco store and a range of shops in Miller's Walk. It's often called the Gateway to the North Norfolk Coast as it's well positioned for the coast and other local attractions like Pensthorpe Waterfowl Park and Fakenham Racecourse. The town has a quirky and unique Museum of Gas and Local History and plenty of pubs and restaurants as well! There's also the Fakenham Sports Centre with golf, squash, tennis, archery, rifle shooting and bowls. Further away, but easy to get to, are Holkham Hall, Sandringham and the Thursford Collection of steam engines and funfair rides with its wonderful Christmas Spectacular Show - the largest of its kind in England - run by the John Cushing.
