Dereham - Right in the heart of Norfolk, Dereham is a traditional market town with a strong local feel and a friendly, lived-in charm. It's not flashy, but there's something comforting about its easygoing pace and mix of old and new. Locals often call it East Dereham, and it's the sort of place where people still stop for a chat on the high street. Surrounded by farmland and countryside, it sits in a handy spot between Norwich and King's Lynn, making it ideal for anyone wanting town convenience with a rural edge.

Dereham's roots stretch back to Saxon times, and it grew around the site of a religious settlement founded by Saint Withburga. Over the years, it became known for its market and wool trade, and by the 18th century it was a thriving hub in the centre of Norfolk. There's a tale that the famous poet William Cowper, who lived here for many years, once said Dereham was “the centre of the universe”—a bold claim, but the town certainly has its own charm. These days, the population sits just above 20,000, with a strong community spirit and plenty of pride in the place.

There's more to Dereham than first meets the eye. The Mid-Norfolk Railway brings a nostalgic flavour with its steam trains running between Dereham and Wymondham—great for families or anyone who loves a bit of heritage. Bishop Bonner's Cottage and the nearby Dereham Windmill give a glimpse into the town's past, and there's a scattering of pretty churches and historic buildings around. For days out, you're not far from English Heritage's Castle Acre Priory or the impressive ruins of Castle Rising. National Trust members can head to Oxburgh Hall or Blickling Estate, both within easy driving distance. The town itself has a decent mix of shops, cafés, leisure spots and green spaces like Neatherd Moor, a favourite with dog walkers and picnic-goers.

Wider Norfolk doesn't disappoint either. Head into Norwich for a proper day out—its cathedral, market and indie shops make it one of the UK's more underrated cities. Over on the coast, you've got Hunstanton, Cromer and Wells-next-the-Sea, each with their own character, plus miles of sandy beaches, dunes and salt marshes. Norfolk's well known for its wildlife, with nature reserves dotted all over, and the Broads are always a good shout if you fancy a boat trip and a pub lunch by the water.

Dereham's easy enough to reach. The A47 runs right past the town, linking it with Norwich to the east and King's Lynn to the west. The Mid-Norfolk Railway doesn't connect directly into the national rail network, but nearby Wymondham does, offering trains to Norwich, Cambridge and beyond. Buses run regularly between Dereham and the surrounding villages, and if you're driving, it's pretty straightforward wherever you're coming from. Norwich Airport's about 20 miles away, and for bigger international flights, Stansted is just over an hour and a half down the road.

Norfolk itself has a unique kind of character—flat landscapes, winding lanes, and big skies that stretch forever. It's a county where the coast meets farmland, and old meets new in a way that feels unforced. It's proud of its past, yet content to go at its own pace. You'll find seaside towns, historic estates, quiet villages and a scattering of lively market towns like Dereham that form the backbone of everyday Norfolk life. There's something quietly compelling about it all, like it's not trying too hard—and that's part of the charm.
