LIMPENHOE Limpenhoe, a quaint village in the picturesque Norfolk countryside, sits on the Northern bank of the River Yare. Between the villages of Cantley and Reedham, it is an idyllic retreat within the larger parish of Cantley, Limpenhoe and Southwood. Approximately 8 miles southwest of the seaside deistination of Great Yarmouth and 11 miles southeast of the historic city of Norwich, Limpenhoe enjoys a tranquil yet accessible location.

The village, steeped in history, saw its parish boundaries re-shaped in 1935 when it merged into Cantley, but its legacy endured.
The name '"limpenhoe" itself holds a story, translating to "limpa's hill-spur" echoing the ancient roots of its settlement. Referenced in the venerab;e Domesday Book, Limpenhoe stands as a relic of centuries past.
Nature enthusiasts will findsolace in Limpenhoe Meadows, a haven and is a site of special scientific interest. Nestled within, the quaint church of St. Botolph, a cherished community hub, alongside a village hall and a serene private fishing lake.

Being situated so close to Reedham allows the freedom to cross into the most southernly part of the Broadland area of Noroflk and into Suffolk, via the ferry which shuttles traffic in small groups across the River Yare, keeping up with the pace of daily life.
