Lingwood is a quiet country village set in the heart of Norfolk's Broadland, providing easy access to the miles of waterways which make up one of England's finest National Parks. The nature reserves at Surlingham and Strumpshaw are close by and have waterside trails - a delight for walkers and nature lovers. Lingwood is also only eight miles from the fine city of Norwich, which as well as being steeped in history has a good array of shops, pubs, restaurants and leisure facilities. Also within a short drive is the sandy beach at the coastal village of Winterton-on-Sea.
