Living in Norfolk
A patchwork of scenery
We don’t need to go into much detail about the many beaches that Norfolk is home to. Towns such as Well-next-the-Sea and Mundesley are known for their sweeping coastlines, and many tourists flock to Great Yarmouth for its Golden Mile seafront.
The county’s seafaring roots stretch back to the Middle Ages, with King’s Lynn’s maritime heritage, in particular, still dominant throughout the town. Martham lies halfway between the Broads and the North Sea. Norfolk doesn’t stop at the coast, however. It's a tapestry of woodland, green spaces and urban spaces, meaning you’re sure to find your dream home in a location that best suits you.
A cultural hive
The county is known for more than its literary achievements. Being a coastal location, its seafood is to die for - especially as it is the birthplace of Cromer Crab and fish fingers. Norfolk’s residents come from all over the world, and they brought their favourite foods with them.
The arts and culture sector thrives here, too. One of the county’s yearly festivals includes the UK’s oldest surviving arts festival - The Norfolk and Norwich Festival. You can also see a show in the theatres dotted throughout, or visit one of its many museums and stately homes. So, if you want to settle down and soak up our country’s culture, this is a fantastic place for buying a house.
Looking to the future
Slow living doesn’t apply to the local economy, however. If you want to level up your career and make your mark on the world, then look no further than this booming county. Top sectors for the county include food, manufacturing and engineering, and digital.
Alongside Suffolk, the county plays a significant role in the UK’s net zero strategy, with the region’s Energy Recovery Strategy ensuring that there are steps in place to strengthen offshore energy production as well as increasing employment opportunities and investment. Buying a new build in means putting yourself front and centre in terms of career opportunities, especially if you’re passionate about making a difference.
