very pretty spot, bit of a steep hill back up to Bintree. not sure if you can get down to the water as looks very private

The approach across the water meadows to the west of the mill is very scenic, with a short but sharp climb on the east bank immediately after the mill.

Twisting streets? ✅ Quaint old buildings? ✅ Cafes and gift shops? ✅ Monks wandering around in habits and shops selling statues of the Virgin Mary? ✅ A slightly different take on your usual North Norfolk tourist town.

Look through the gatehouse on the main village street and you can see the impressive east arch visible through it.

Little Walsingham is the location for the Abbey Grounds and the Anglican Shrine, two of the most popular destinations for visitors. Walsingham sits in the Norfolk countryside, just four miles in from the north Norfolk coast, directly south of Wells-next-the-Sea. Historical records of the village go back to Saxon times when the village was first established on the banks of the River Stiffkey — it is listed in the Domesday Book under the name of Walsingham Parva. Today’s village incorporates both Little and Great Walsingham, together representing a population of about 800 people. This rural village, is surrounded by rich farmland producing corn and sugar beet, wheat and barley, fruit and vegetables — and good grazing for livestock. Many of the farms have been in the same (https://www.visitnorthnorfolk.com/information/product-catch-all/little-walsingham-p1524571) The octagonal building in Common Place is the old Town Pump House. On the stone roof is 'The Beacon'. The pump house was built c1550 and has a brazier on top, which is lit at times of special celebration.

The town has a unique medieval vibe

All Saints Church dates from at least the 12th century. Until 1981, the tower was largely complete, having been turned into a folly in the 17th century. Sadly, it suddenly collapsed leaving what we can still see today. The lost medieval village of Godwick is also on this site and is open to the public for free with information boards providing more information about the village streets and buildings that you can see in the landscape.

Bintry Watermill, located on the River Wensum, is thought to have stood at this location since 1454. The present mill is thought to date from the 1750s. The watermill at Bintry was used in 1996 by the BBC for location work on their adaptation of George Eliot’s, "The Mill on the Floss."
