A rough sketch, not to scale — Bawburgh sits about five miles west of Norwich city centre.
Bawburgh is a small village on the River Yare, about five miles west of Norwich city centre — close enough for an easy trip in, quiet enough that you’ll hear more birdsong than traffic. There’s a village green, a ford across the river, a pub, and Saxon round-tower St Mary & St Walstan’s Church, built where St Walstan — patron saint of farmers and farmworkers, born and buried in the village — was once the centre of a medieval pilgrimage. His restored holy well still stands in the field just below the church.
Norwich itself is about 15 minutes away by car (Wymondham 10 minutes, Hethersett 5), so Muntjack is well placed if you’re visiting the UEA, Norwich Research Park, Norwich & Norfolk University Hospital (NNUH), or the Norfolk Showground — about 5 minutes down the road.
Everyday essentials— Sainsbury’s and Aldi are both about 10 minutes away at Longwater Retail Park, with a Tesco Express in New Costessey for a quick top-up.
