 The park itself has a children’s play area, an outside gym and mini golf.  


There is a golf club to the west of the village. It has a good standard nine hole course which offers the ability to play eighteen from different tees. It has a driving range. Non-members are welcome, booking is advised as it is very busy in the summer. There is a bar and restaurant.  www.mundesleygolfclub.com The Royal Cromer Golf Club offers a high standard 18-hole course. Details can be found at www.royalcromergolfclub.com


The village has a selection of shops around the house including a butchers across the road beside the free car park, a chemist, green grocer and post office (right next to the house) , a Spar (200m towards the coast on the High Street) and a Tesco Express on the way out of the village towards Overstrand.

Norwich is just 40 minutes away by car with a fine choice of shopping, museums and restaurants. Trains also run regularly from North Walsham taking about 25 minutes to Norwich. Cromer along the coast is a very popular seaside resort with traditional attractions and the now famous pier (BBC 1 Christmas channel ident 2018). Again, a fine range of shops restaurants, the beach and of course the crabs!


Further round, Sheringham (25-minute drive), Holt (25 minutes) Holkham (45 minutes) Wells (45 minutes) and Blakeney (40 minutes) are all worth a visit. The beach at Holkham is always topped off with a visit to the Victoria pub. The driving times assume normal conditions, the A149 can get very busy however taking the A148 and then cutting back to the coast can save some time when driving to the western coastal places.
