The market town of Stalham is a typical North Norfolk town, with a high street that has a decent selection of shops and restaurants. In addition to regular sales in the town hall, there is a small market that visits on Tuesdays and a farmers' market every other Saturday. A museum that will give you a better understanding of the Broadland ecosystem is essential as Stalham is one of the main starting sites for boating vacations on the Norfolk Broads. This is the ideal starting point for exploring the Norfolk Broads and shoreline because it is only a few miles inland from wonderful beaches.
