All Saints Hemblington Church

All Saints Church sits in the small village of Hemblington, a few miles inland from Great Yarmouth, and it's one of those Norfolk churches that rewards the detour if you're into medieval architecture. The building itself is 14th century, with a proper tower that dominates the flat landscape around it - you can see it from quite a distance away across the fields. Inside, there's solid carpentry and some decent period features, though it's not one of those churches dripping with gold leaf and marble monuments. It's functional, honest, and genuinely Norfolk.

This works best for walkers and church enthusiasts rather than families with restless kids. You're looking at 20 minutes inside if you dawdle, longer if you're photographing the details. The real appeal is the sense of place - standing in a village church that's been there for 700 years, with barely anything changed around it, feels different to visiting something in the middle of a town.

If you're caravan-based at one of the nearby sites - Norfolk Broads Haven is the best-rated of the bunch at 4.3 stars - you could easily slot this in as part of a morning drive around the Broads. It's close enough to Great Yarmouth that you could combine it with a proper look around town, but far enough away to feel like proper countryside. Free to visit, as far as I can tell, though the opening hours aren't listed anywhere obvious. Your best bet is just turning up - churches like this are usually open during daylight.
