Stalham

Stalham is a small market town on the River Ant in the Broads in Norfolk, England, 14 miles north-west of Great Yarmouth and 15 miles east of Norwich.

Stalham is just a few miles from the coast and fine sandy beaches at Sea Palling, Waxham, Eccles-on-Sea and Horsey Gap. It’s also home, at Poor's Staithe, to the Museum of the Broads where you can learn much more about how man helped create this National Park, enjoy various events and activities and take a boat trip on the Edwardian-style Marsh Harrier.

Nearby are Norfolk Wildlife Trust’s Hickling Broad, Wroxham Barns and BeWILDerwood.
