There has been continuous habitation here since the Bronze Age. Hindringham Hall, a Tudor Mansion nestles at the bottom of a river valley and is surrounded by a moat, believed to date back to 1250. Although the house is privately owned and not open to the public, the gardens are accessible at various times throughout the year as an Open Garden or for special visits. The Thursford Collection of steam engines and funfair machines is nearby. The North Norfolk coast, with its many miles of beaches and salt marshes, is also nearby. Hindringham is midway between the busy market town of Fakenham with its National Hunt Racecourse and the lovely Georgian town of Holt. Both have many shops, sports facilities, banks, and good schools.
