Quartier

Description de notre quartier et ses alentours

Ashwellthorpe is a small village with an ancient woodland, a church and a pub in rural Norfolk but Norwich, our nearest "city" (it is small and ancient) is only two hours from central London by train. We are an hour by car from Cambridge, and an hour to the coast.
The attractive town of Wymondham, only 3 miles away, has an abbey, market cross, all the usual shops and services, and rail link to Norwich, just ten minutes away. Norwich has theatres, cinemas, restaurants, a Norman castle and a beautiful cathedral. East Anglia has many stately homes, picture post card villages, and wonderful pubs. It is also the birdwatching "capital" of England. Wymondham also has a direct rail link to Cambridge (one hour). Another hour on a train takes you to Central London. There is a pub within easy walking distance. There are several good pubs at which to eat within a few miles. There is a golf club about 20 minutes away which has a gym, tennis courts, pool etc. Reasonable day rate.

A Faire

Nos conseils pour des restaurants, cafés, shopping et activitiés à ne pas manquer

Norwich and Cambridge have many culture and arts attractions; Wymondham has a music festival every year. The Sainsbury Centre at the UEA has some wonderful exhibitions.

Previous exchangers have enjoyed hiring a day cruiser on the broads, or taking a trip of the paddle boat, The Southern Comfort (on which we had our wedding reception), visiting the various stately homes, including Sandringham, Blicking, Oxborough and Felbrigg. Banham zoo (where Tabi volunteers) is only 20 minutes away; the bird of prey and “Amazing Animals” displays are excellent.
The North Norfolk coast has some beautiful villages, we particularly like Well-next-the-Sea (try The Crab House!) and beaches, and very good birdwatching at Titchwell - a flagship RSPB reserve.
Bury St Edmunds has some award winning flower displays in the summer months. Further lovely floral displays can be found at Bressingham Gardens, together with steam trains and a “Dad’s Army” display - the tv show was filmed in the area. The attractive town of Diss is nearby with its “mere”.

Nos préférences

Ce qu'on apprécie, ce qu'on apprécie moins… Voici nos préférences et nos règles de maison.

UK/Europe. We no longer want to travel long distances.

As we have several arrangements already in place October is the earliest we have availability for a short UK exchange.

We prefer simultaneous exchanges because we have cats, chickens (and sometimes a bird of prey) to be fed. However, we can occasionally consider non-simultaneous exchanges. We always welcome offers from homes with cats, or exchangers happy to look after cats. But if you think you have a home that will tempt us, try us!

Because of the pond our home is not really suitable for small children. Smoking is allowed on the porch or in the garden.
We have 4 cats who have limited access to the house when we are at home, but unlimited access to the utility room & large, private, enclosed garden. We have friends/neighbours who are willing cat feeders. If necessary, they would look after the planters and indoor plants.
We have a large aviary in the garden which is sometimes occupied by recuperating wild birds of prey prior to release back into the wild. If feeding a bird/s would be a problem we can arrange for someone else to feed, or to have no birds.
New in 2020 - chickens! We now have a coop and run for rescued chickens. Like the aviary it can't really be seen from the house. For exchanges of more than four days it will be necessary to top up food and water for the girls. Longer exchanges may involve an element of cleaning. Our current five girls were rescued in August 2023.
