Neighbourhood information
A Legacy of Agriculture
Dilham’s name harks back to its agricultural roots, once known for vast fields of commercially grown dill. With a mention in the Domesday Book, the village was recorded as a small settlement of just over 23 households, complete with 12 acres of meadowland and 13 pigs. Today, farming remains a way of life for local families who continue to cultivate this historic land.
A Gateway to Norfolk’s Wonders
Perched on the brink of the North Broads, the village of Dilham is surrounded by beautiful countryside in a quiet and tranquil setting, making it the perfect starting point for a wide range of Norfolk adventures. Just one mile from the village, visitors can enjoy the serenity of the waterways, while the coast is a mere five miles away, offering a selection of charming beaches and coastal villages. Rent a boat or set off on foot to explore some of the incredible 125 miles of navigable waterways that make this region so unique. For a delightful day trip, visit the picturesque town of Wroxham (7 miles) or the bustling market town of Aylsham (10 miles), perhaps traveling between the two via the scenic Bure Valley Railway.
For those who enjoy exploring further afield, Norwich (14.5 miles) is a vibrant hub of history, culture, and shopping. Alternatively, for a more remote and nature-filled excursion, head to Horsey Gap (12.5 miles), where you can take a peaceful stroll along the seafront and spot some of Norfolk’s famous seals.
Nearby, food lovers can indulge in the renowned dining experiences at The Gunton Arms and Suffield Arms—both destination gastro pubs that welcome dogs.
