Hellesdon — former railway station

Highlight • Structure

On the former Midland and Great Northern Railway, Hellesdon was once a bustling station. A rural line, it was part of the railway mania that swept the national, causing ranch lines to crop up all over the place.

The line was closed in the 1980s and now serves as part of the Marriotts Way cycle and footpath. The trail is named after William Marriott, the manager of the line for over 40 years.

St Edmund's Church, Taverham

Highlight • Historical Site

A church has stood here since at least 1086 when St Edmund's was mentioned in the Doomsday book. This Grade-I listed church is thought to be pre-Norman. It has a striking round tower, which almost makes it look like a castle.
