All Saints Church - Walcott

The round tower of All Saints in Walcott rises from the Norfolk marshes like something out of a fever dream - cream-coloured flint, squat and oddly hypnotic. You'll find it east of Norwich, sitting alone in the flat agricultural landscape where the horizon stretches on for miles. It's one of those Saxon round-tower churches that appear throughout East Anglia, built when local stone was scarce and workers made do with what the Romans had left behind.

Inside, it's small and genuinely peaceful. The nave won't take long to walk through - twenty minutes max - but there's something about the light falling through the old windows that makes you want to stay longer. Look up and you'll see the wooden roof timbers, blackened with age. There's a font that's worth studying if medieval stonework interests you.

This is really one for church-crawlers and local history enthusiasts rather than families looking for hands-on engagement. Kids will manage five minutes before restlessness sets in. But if you're staying at Manor Caravan Park just over a mile away or using it as a base for exploring the Norfolk coast parks - Two Mills and Golden Beach are both within reasonable driving distance - it's worth a quiet morning visit. The surrounding countryside offers decent walking, and Walcott itself is unremarkable, which is precisely why the church stands out so starkly against the sky. Free to enter. No facilities on site.
