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.

“A lovely shepherd's hut with everything you need. A very comfy bed and it was lovely to have nice big towels instead of the small ones you get in hotels. Some nice walks through the fields to different villages. Great communication.”
Kerry
“Thank you so much for a lovely stay for myself & my two doggies who loved the enclosed garden. I had a nice peaceful stay & the bed was very comfy. I found the location handy as I was visiting family in the area. Great location for getting in Norwich or visiting beaches.”
Kelly
“A welcome, private retreat after a sweltering day in Norwich. The shepherd's hut was secluded but felt safe and it was ideal for our night's stay. The bed was very comfortable and recommended pub was great. Would have been nice to have more time to explore but this was a flying visit.”
Susan
